Strong gravity, dense matter -- probing compact objects
The matter within a few Schwarzschild radii of accreting neutron stars and black holes is moving under the influence of a strong gravitational field, and, in...

PublicaciónA second-order approximation to equatorial null geodesics in the Kerr metric - Application to light deflection in eclipsing compact binariesWe present a second-order analytical expansion of null equatorial geodesics in the Kerr metric. The equations developed are applied to the study of light...
