Spinning particles in the vacuum C metric
Donato Bini, Christian Cherubini, Andrea Geralico +1
The motion of a spinning test particle given by the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations is studied on an exterior vacuum C metric background spacetime describing the accelerated motion…
Inertial effects of an accelerating black hole
D. Bini, C. Cherubini, B. Mashhoon
We consider the static vacuum C metric that represents the gravitational field of a black hole of mass undergoing uniform translational acceleration such that $mA<1/(3\sqrt…
Limitations of Radar Coordinates
Donato Bini, Luca Lusanna, Bahram Mashhoon
The construction of a radar coordinate system about the world line of an observer is discussed. Radar coordinates for a hyperbolic observer as well as a uniformly rotating observer…
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…
Spin, Acceleration and Gravity
Donato Bini, Christian Cherubini, Bahram Mashhoon
The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler s…
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…
Vacuum C-metric and the Gravitational Stark Effect
Donato Bini, Christian Cherubini, Bahram Mashhoon
We study the vacuum C-metric and its physical interpretation in terms of the exterior spacetime of a uniformly accelerating spherically - symmetric gravitational source. Wave pheno…
Gauge-Dependent Cosmological "Constant"
Bahram Mashhoon, Paul S. Wesson
When the cosmological constant of spacetime is derived from the 5D induced-matter theory of gravity, we show that a simple gauge transformation changes it to a variable measure of…
