Dixon's extended bodies and impulsive gravitational waves
Donato Bini, Pierluigi Fortini, Andrea Geralico +1
The "reaction" of an extended body to the passage of an exact plane gravitational wave is discussed following Dixon's model. The analysis performed shows several general features,…
Quadrupole effects on the motion of extended bodies in Kerr spacetime
Donato Bini, Pierluigi Fortini, Andrea Geralico +1
The motion of a body endowed with dipolar as well as quadrupolar structure is investigated in the Kerr background according to the Dixon's model, extending a previous analysis done…
Quadrupole effects on the motion of extended bodies in Schwarzschild spacetime
Donato Bini, Pierluigi Fortini, Andrea Geralico +1
The motion of an extended body up to the quadrupolar structure is studied in the Schwarzschild background following Dixon's model and within certain restrictions (constant frame co…
