The theory of Schwarzschild geodesics is revisited. Basing on a result by Weierstrass and Biermann, we derive a formula describing all non radial, timelike and null trajectories in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions. Quite remarkably,…
In this paper we focus on analytical calculations involving null geodesics in some spherically symmetric spacetimes. We use Weierstrass elliptic functions to fully describe null geodesics in Schwarzschild spacetime and to derive analytical…
We derive novel analytical solutions describing timelike and null geodesics in the Kerr spacetime. The solutions are parameterized explicitly by constants of motion -- the energy, the angular momentum, and the Carter constant -- and initial…
We present the complete set of analytical solutions of the geodesic equation in Taub-NUT space-times in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function. We systematically study the underlying polynomials and characterize the motion of test…
Time-like orbits in Schwarzschild space-time are presented and classified in a very transparent and straightforward way into four types. The analytical solutions to orbit, time, and proper time equations are given for all orbit types in the…
The timelike structure of the five-dimensional Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"om Anti-de Sitter black holes is studied in detail. Different kinds of motion are allowed and studied by using an adequate effective potential. Then, by…
We revisit the theory of timelike and null geodesics in the (extended) Kerr spacetime. This work is a sequel to a recent paper by Cie\'{s}lik, Hackmann, and Mach, who applied the so-called Biermann-Weierstrass formula to integrate Kerr…
Recently, an analytical study of radial and circular orbits for null and time-like geodesics that propagate in the spacetime produced by a Schwarzschild black hole associated with cloud of strings, in a universe filled by quintessence, has…
We use the Hamiltonian formulation of the geodesic equation in the Schwarzschild space-time so as to get the variational equation as the counterpart of the Jacobi equation in this approach. In this context we are able to apply the…
We develop an iterative approach to gravitational lensing theory based on approximate solutions of the null geodesic equations. The approach can be employed in any space-time which is ``close'' to a space-time in which the null geodesic…
In this paper, we studied the geodesics of timelike and null like particles near an improved Schwarzschild black hole. The lapse function has been plotted and was found that only one horizon is possible. The equation of motion and effective…
We describe the geometry of geodesics on a Lorentz ellipsoid: give explicit formulas for the first integrals (pseudo-confocal coordinates), curvature, geodesically equivalent Riemannian metric, the invariant area-forms on the time- and…
It is proved in the manuscript that as long as the proper coordinate transformation is introduced,, the equations of geodetic lines described in curved space-time can be transformed into the dynamic equations in flat space-time, that is to…
The complete set of analytic solutions of the geodesic equation in a Schwarzschild--(anti) de Sitter space--time is presented. The solutions are derived from the Jacobi inversion problem restricted to the theta--divisor. In its final form…
The paper deals with an extensive study of null and timelike geodesics in the background of wormhole geometries. Starting with a spherically symmetric spacetime, null geodesics are analyzed for the Morris-Thorne wormhole(WH) and photon…
This work is a purely syntactic geometric exploration of some few elements, which are our axioms, that in last instance it is the set of differential equations whose solutions give the geodesic lines of the Schwarzschild spacetime. We…
The $n$-time generalization of Schwarzschild solution is considered. The equations of geodesics for the metric are integrated. The multitemporal analogues of Newton laws for the extended objects described by the solution are suggested. The…
Geodesic orbit equations in the Schwarzschild geometry of general relativity reduce to ordinary conic sections of Newtonian mechanics and gravity for material particles in the non-relativistic limit. On the contrary, geodesic orbit…
We present a generalization and refinement of the Sachs-Wolfe technique which unifies many of the approaches taken to date and clarifies both the physical and the mathematical character of the method. We illustrate the formalism with a…
In this paper we present a new public code, named $ynogkm$, for the fast calculation of time-like geodesics in the Kerr-Newmann (K-N) spacetime, which is a direct extension of $ynogk$ calculating null geodesics in a Kerr spacetime.…
