The general relativistic Poynting–Robertson effect

Show affiliations


The general relativistic version is developed for Robertson's discussion of the Poynting–Robertson effect that he based on special relativity and Newtonian gravity for point radiation sources like stars. The general relativistic model uses a test radiation field of photons in outward radial motion with zero angular momentum in the equatorial plane of the exterior Schwarzschild or Kerr spacetime.
