There is a chance that the spacetime around massive compact objects which are expected to be black holes is not described by the Kerr metric, but by a metric which can be considered as a perturbation of the Kerr metric. These non-Kerr…

Our universe contains a great number of extremely compact and massive objects which are generally accepted to be black holes. Precise observations of orbital motion near candidate black holes have the potential to determine if they have the…

We study the orbits in a Manko-Novikov type metric (MN) which is a perturbed Kerr metric. There are periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic orbits, which are found in configuration space and on a surface of section for various values of the…

We consider circular particle motion under the action of an unspecified force in a static spherically symmetric spacetime. We derive the machinery that allows one to find the force acting on a circular particle and deduce whether its…

The motion of classical spinning test particles in the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole is considered for the case where the particle spin is perpendicular to the equatorial plane. We review some results of our recent research of the…

This paper presents results for the innermost stable circular orbit in a Kerr-like spacetime. The metric employed is an approximation that combines the Kerr metric with the Erez-Rosen metric, expanded in a Taylor series. Consequently, this…

We study stability of a circular orbit of a spinning test particle in a Kerr spacetime. We find that some of the circular orbits become unstable in the direction perpendicular to the equatorial plane, although the orbits are still stable in…
