Ultrarelativistic Motion: Inertial and Tidal Effects in Fermi Coordinates
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
Fermi coordinates are the natural generalization of inertial Cartesian coordinates to accelerated systems and gravitational fields. We study the motion of ultrarelativistic particl…
Significance of c/sqrt(2) in Relativistic Physics
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
In the description of \emph{relative} motion in accelerated systems and gravitational fields, inertial and tidal accelerations must be taken into account, respectively. These invol…
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…
