Tidal Acceleration of Ultrarelativistic Particles
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
We investigate the motion of free relativistic particles relative to the ambient medium around a gravitationally collapsed system. If the relative speed exceeds a critical value gi…

Tidal Dynamics of Relativistic Flows Near Black Holes
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
We point out novel consequences of general relativity involving tidal dynamics of ultrarelativistic relative motion. Specifically, we use the generalized Jacobi equation and its ex…

Dynamics of Relativistic Flows
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon, B. Punsly
Dynamics of relativistic outflows along the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole is investigated using a simple model that takes into account the relativistic tidal force of the cent…
