Calculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.
In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...
متن کاملRelativistic Spin Rotation
It is well known that the spin direction of a particle is affected by a boost that is not parallel to its momentum, a relativistic effect described as Wigner rotation or Wigner-Thomas precession. Thus, we often require a transformation between polarizations expressed in either the lab or cm frames. Several versions of this transformation appear in the literature, but proving their equivalence c...
متن کاملThe Relativistic Transformation to Rotating Frames
We present a critical review of the relativistic rotation transformation of Trocheris and Takeno. A new transformation is proposed which is free from the drawbacks of the former. Some applications are presented. ∗Also at UCV, Caracas, Venezuela; e-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملRelativistic precession around rotating neutron stars: Effects due to frame-dragging and stellar oblateness
General relativity predicts that a rotating body produces a frame-dragging (or LenseThirring) effect: the orbital plane of a test particle in a non-equatorial orbit precesses about the body’s symmetry axis. In this paper we compute the precession frequencies of circular orbits around rapidly rotating neutron stars for a variety of masses and equations of state. The precession frequencies comput...
متن کاملAxial Torsion-Dirac spin Effect in Rotating Frame with Relativistic Factor
In the framework of spacetime with torsion and without curvature, the Dirac particle spin precession in the rotational system is studied. We write out the equivalent tetrad of rotating frame, in the polar coordinate system, through considering the relativistic factor, and the resultant equivalent metric is a flat Minkowski one. The obtained rotation-spin coupling formula can be applied to the h...
