The effect of self-gravity on the equations of motion of a test particle in general relativity

The effect of a test particle's self-gravity on its equations of motion is examined. Two specific examples are provided for illustration. A hypothetical application of the results is a binary neutron star in which the orbital motion of each component is affected by the magnetic field of the oth...

Zusammenfassung:	The effect of a test particle's self-gravity on its equations of motion is examined. Two specific examples are provided for illustration. A hypothetical application of the results is a binary neutron star in which the orbital motion of each component is affected by the magnetic field of the other.
