Abstract

Upper limits for the mass-radius ratio and total charge are derived for stable charged general relativistic matter distributions. For charged compact objects the mass-radius ratio exceeds the value 4/9 corresponding to neutral stars. General restrictions for the red shift and total energy (including the gravitational contribution) are also obtained.
