Electromagnetic Radiation and Equation of Motion for Really Shaped Particle – New Covariant Formulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Relativistically covariant form of equation of motion for real particle (body) under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived. Equation of motion in the proper frame of the particle uses the radiation pressure cross section 3 × 3 matrix. Obtained covariant equation of motion is compared with another covariant equation of motion which was presented more than one year ago.

Electromagnetic Radiation and Motion of Really Shaped Particle
Relativistically covariant form of equation of motion for real particle (neutral in charge) under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived. Various formulations of the equation of motion in the proper frame of reference of the particle are used. Main attention is devoted to the reformulation of the equation of motion in the general frame of reference, e. g., in the frame of reference ...
متن کاملOn Equation of Motion for Arbitrarily Shaped Particle under Action of Electromagnetic Radiation
Arguments of astronomers against equation of motion for arbitrarily shaped particle under action of electromagnetic radiation are discussed. Each of the arguments is commented in detail from the point of view of the required physics. It is shown that the arguments of astronomers, including referees in several astronomical and astrophysical journals, are unacceptable from the physical point of v...
متن کاملOn Radiation Pressure and the Poynting- Robertson Effect for Fluffy Dust Particles
Equation of motion for real dust particle under the action of electromagnetic radiation is more general than equation of motion corresponding to standardly used Poynting-Robertson effect (P-R effect). As a consequence, orbital evolution of particles may significantly differ from that corresponding to the P-R effect. The paper discusses recently published (Icarus, June 2002) derivation of equati...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Radiation and Motion of a Particle
We consider the motion of uncharged dust grains of arbitrary shape including the effects of electromagnetic radiation and thermal emission. The resulting relativistically covariant equation of motion is expressed in terms of standard optical parameters. Explicit expressions for secular changes of osculating orbital elements are derived in detail for the special case of the Poynting-Robertson ef...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 9 Are explanations of the Poynting - Robertson effect correct ?
Physics of the Poynting-Robertson (P-R) effect is discussed and compared with the statements published in the past thirty years. Relativistically covariant formulation reveals the essence of the P-R effect and points out to nonphysical explanations in scientific papers and monographs. Although the final equation of motion m dv/dt = (SA ′ ¯ Q ′ pr / c) {(1 − v · e/c) e − v/c} has been usually co...
