Abstract
We study the motion of a test particle in a stationary, axially and reflection symmetric spacetime of a central compact object, as affected by interaction with a test radiation field of the same symmetries. Considering the radiation flux with fixed but arbitrary (non-zero) angular momentum, we extend previous results limited to an equatorial motion within a zero-angular-momentum photon flux in the Kerr and Schwarzschild backgrounds. While a unique equilibrium circular orbit exists if the photon flux has zero angular momentum, multiple such orbits appear if the photon angular momentum is sufficiently high.
