Gravitational Effects of Null Particles
Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan
We generalize earlier solutions of gravitational shocks sourced by distributional null stress-energy and analyze their observable effects. A systematic method is proposed to demons…

Gravity of gluonic fluctuations and the value of the cosmological constant
Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan
We analyze the classical linear gravitational effect of idealized pion-like dynamical systems, consisting of light quarks connected by attractive gluonic material with a stress-ene…

Spin Self-Force
Kristian Mackewicz, Robert M. Wald
We consider the motion of charged and spinning bodies on the symmetry axis of a non-extremal Kerr-Newman black hole. If one treats the body as a test point particle of mass, , c…
