Analytical solutions for geodesics in black hole spacetimes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-05 v1

Abstract

We review the analytical solution methods for the geodesic equations in Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT-de Sitter spacetimes and its subclasses in terms of elliptic and hyperelliptic functions. A short guide to corresponding literature for general timelike and lightlike motion is also presented.
