Jacobi Fields and Tidal Effects in Kerr Spacetime
Carmen Chicone, Bahram Mashhoon
General relativistic tidal equations are formulated with respect to the rest frame of a central gravitational source described by the Kerr gravitational field. Specifically, observ…
Spinning Particles in Twisted Gravitational Wave Spacetimes
Donato Bini, Carmen Chicone, Bahram Mashhoon +1
Twisted gravitational waves (TGWs) are nonplanar waves with twisted rays that move along a fixed direction in space. We study further the physical characteristics of a recent class…
Twisted Gravitational Waves
Donato Bini, Carmen Chicone, Bahram Mashhoon
In general relativity (GR), linearized gravitational waves propagating in empty Minkowski spacetime along a fixed spatial direction have the property that the wave front is the Euc…
Anisotropic Gravitational Collapse and Cosmic Jets
Donato Bini, Carmen Chicone, Bahram Mashhoon
Consider a dynamic general relativistic spacetime in which the proper infinitesimal interval along one spatial coordinate direction decreases monotonically with time, while the cor…
Cosmological Implications of Nonlocal Gravity
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
We present extensions of the treatment contained in our recent paper on nonlocal Newtonian cosmology [C. Chicone and B. Mashhoon, J. Math. Phys. 57, 072501 (2016)]. That is, the im…
Relativistic Tidal Acceleration of Astrophysical Jets
Donato Bini, Carmen Chicone, Bahram Mashhoon
Within the framework of general relativity, we investigate the tidal acceleration of astrophysical jets relative to the central collapsed configuration ("Kerr source"). We neglect…
