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…

Relativistically covariant form of equation of motion for arbitrarily shaped dust particle (neutral in charge) under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived -- emission, scattering and absorption of radiation is considered. The…
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…
In response to the comments of astro-ph/0006426 on Srikanth (Icarus 1999), we clarify, and thereby justify, the definition of Poynting-Robertson drag adopted in the latter. We confirm that dust absorption is a necessary condition while…

In my doctoral thesis, I have focussed my attention on radiation processes in high-energy astrophysics connected with the accretion flow physics around compact objects. Generally, a radiation field beside to exert an outward radiation…
The Poynting-Robertson (P-R) effect has been applied to meteoroids for several decades. It is well known that the P-R effect produces only changes in the orbital plane of the particle. The differential equations governing the secular…
We determine for the first time in the literature the analytic form of the Rayleigh potential of the general relativistic Poynting-Robertson effect. The employed procedure is based on the use of an integrating factor and a new integration…
The Abrahamn Lorentz radiation reaction force term, with da/dt, derived in text books is shown to be incomplete. We show that, with the addition of a term, the classical radiation reaction force can be generalized to the relativistic force…
Solutions of the two-body problem with the simultaneous action of the solar electromagnetic radiation in the form of the Poynting-Robertson effect are discussed. Special attention is devoted to pseudo-circular orbits and terminal values of…
The general relativistic Poynting-Robertson (PR) effect is a very important dissipative phenomenon occurring in high-energy astrophysics. Recently, it has been proposed a new model, which upgrades the two-dimensional (2D) description in the…
Ever since the first discovery of Poynting and Robertson, the radiation source has been treated as merely a point. Even in a very few studies where the size of the source has been taken into account, the treatment of the problem remained…
Correct and complete (to terms of $\vec{v} / c$ -- $\vec{v}$ is particle's velocity, $c$ is the speed of light) derivation of equation of motion for real dust particle under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived. The effect of…
We propose the Lagrangian formulation for describing the motion of a test particle in a general relativistic, stationary, and axially symmetric spacetime. The test particle is also affected by a radiation field, modeled as a coherent flux…
The force acting on a test particle moving around a body that is gravitating and emitting electromagnetic radiation at the same time is computed up to the second order in $1/c$, and the shift of perihelion is found. The total shift is…
We consider a further extension of our previous works in the treatment of the three-dimensional general relativistic Poynting-Robertson effect, which describes the motion of a test particle around a compact object as affected by the…
