Equations of motion in general relativity and gravitational theory (83C10) Black holes (83C57)

Abstract: The motion of free nearby test particles relative to a stable equatorial circular geodesic orbit about a Kerr source is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear generalized Jacobi equation can be transformed in this case to an autonomous form. Tidal dynamics beyond the critical speed c/sqrt(2) is studied. We show, in particular, that a free test particle vertically launched from the circular orbit parallel or antiparallel to the Kerr rotation axis is tidally accelerated if its initial relative speed exceeds c/sqrt(2). Possible applications of our results to high-energy astrophysics are briefly mentioned.
