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.…
Relativistic radiative transfer problems require the calculation of photon trajectories in curved spacetime. We present a novel technique for rapid and accurate calculation of null geodesics in the Kerr metric. The equations of motion from…
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…
The null geodesic equation in the Kerr spacetime can be expressed as a set of integral equations involving certain potentials. We classify the roots of these potentials and express the integrals in manifestly real Legendre elliptic form. We…
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,…
We provide new very simple and compact expressions for the efficient calculation of gravitational lens optical scalars for Kerr spacetime which are exact along any null geodesic. These new results are obtained recurring to well known…
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…
The complete analytical solutions of the geodesic equations in Kerr-de Sitter and Kerr-anti-de Sitter space-times are presented. They are expressed in terms of Weierstrass elliptic p, zeta, and sigma functions as well as hyperelliptic…
The timelike geodesic equations resulting from the Kerr gravitational metric element are derived and solved exactly including the contribution from the cosmological constant. The geodesic equations are derived, by solving the…
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…
The equations of general relativity in the form of timelike and null geodesics that describe motion of test particles and photons in Kerr spacetime are solved exactly including the contribution from the cosmological constant. We then…
A short review will be made of elliptic integrals, widely applied in GPS (Global Positioning System) communications (accounting for General Relativity Theory-effects), cosmology, Black hole physics and celestial mechanics. Then a novel…
Starting with an exact and simple geodesic, we generate approximate geodesics by summing up higher-order geodesic deviations within a General Relativistic setting, without using Newtonian and post-Newtonian approximations. We apply this…
We derive the analytical solutions of the bound timelike geodesic orbits in Kerr spacetime. The analytical solutions are expressed in terms of the elliptic integrals using Mino time $\lambda$ as the independent variable. Mino time decouples…
We present closed-form solutions for plunging geodesics in the extended Kerr spacetime using Boyer-Lindquist coordinates. Our solutions directly solve for the dynamics of generic timelike plunges, we also specialise to the case of test…
Recent results suggest that boundaries of coherent fluid vortices (elliptic coherent structures) can be identified as closed null-geodesics of appropriate Lorentzian metrics defined on the flow domain. Here we derive an automated method for…
The paper presents a method to compute the Jacobi's elliptic function \texttt{sn} on the period parallelogram. For fixed $m$ it requires first to compute the complete elliptic integrals $K=K(m)$ and $K'=K(1-m).$ The Newton method is used to…
We consider null geodesics in the exterior region of a subextremal Kerr spacetime. We show that most well-known fundamental properties of null geodesics can be represented on one plot. In particular, one can see immediately that the…
The theory of Schwarzschild geodesics is revisited. Using a theorem due to Weierstrass and Biermann, we derive concise formulas describing all timelike and null trajectories in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions. The formulation given…
We study null geodesics that connect the two asymptotically flat regions of the maximally extended Kerr spacetime. These vortical geodesics traverse both horizons and pass through the ring singularity, linking the positive-$r$ exterior to…
