A spinning particle in the Schwarzschild spacetime deviates from geodesic behavior because of its spin. A spinless particle also deviates from geodesic behavior when a test radiation field is superimposed on the Schwarzschild background: in…
According to general relativity, a spinning body of mass M and angular momentum S, like a star or a planet, generates a gravitomagnetic field which induces, among other phenomena, also the Lense-Thirring effect, i.e. secular precessions of…
