Note on equatorial geodesics in circular spacetimes
arXiv:2103.01816 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/aba80c
Abstract
General results on equatorial geodesics are exposed in the case of circular spacetimes featuring an equatorial reflection symmetry. The way the geodesic equation equivalently rewrites in terms of an effective potential is explicitly recalled for circular and non-circular equatorial geodesics. This provides a practical tool to discuss their stability. Statements are illustrated in Kerr spacetime.
