Scientific paper

Dixon's center-of-mass description of extended bodies is analyzed for spacetimes admitting isometries. In particular, stationary, axisymmetric and stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes are treated. In the last case, a new coordinate system is constructed which is based on the center-of-mass world line lzero and in the case where lzero is a geodesic (a sufficient condition for this is given) a new restriction on the energy-momentum tensor is obtained.
