Effect of an arbitrary spin orientation on the quadrupolar structure of an extended body in a Schwarzschild spacetime
Effect of an arbitrary spin orientation on the quadrupolar structure of an extended body in a Schwarzschild spacetime
The influence of an arbitrary spin orientation on the quadrupolar structure of an extended body moving in a Schwarzschild spacetime is investigated. The body dynamics is described by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model, without any restriction on the motion or simplifying assumption on the associated spin vector and quadrupole tensor, generalizing previous …
