Spinning bodies and the Poynting–Robertson effect in the Schwarzschild spacetime

Spinning bodies and the Poynting–Robertson effect in the Schwarzschild spacetime

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 fact the interaction with the radiation field, i.e. the absorption and re-emission of radiation, leads …
