Poynting-Robertson effect as a dissipative system in general relativity

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We determine for the first time in the literature the analytic form of the Rayleigh potential of the general relativistic Poynting-Robertson effect. The employed procedure is based on the use of an integrating factor and a new integration strategy where the test particle's dissipated energy represents the fundamental variable. The obtained results and their implications are discussed. Finally, concluding remarks and future projects are drawn.
