Geodesics in the Gamma spacetime

TL;DR

This paper investigates the behavior of circular and radial geodesics in the gamma spacetime, highlighting how deviations from spherical symmetry influence particle trajectories compared to the standard spherically symmetric case.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of geodesics in gamma spacetime and compares their behavior to the spherically symmetric scenario, emphasizing the effects of non-spherical deviations.

Findings

Geodesic trajectories are sensitive to deviations from spherical symmetry.

Differences between gamma spacetime and spherical cases are quantitatively characterized.

The study enhances understanding of particle motion in non-spherical gravitational fields.

Abstract

Circular and radial geodesics are studied in the spacetime described by the $\gamma$ metric. Their behaviour is compared with the spherically symmetric situation, bringing out the sensitivity of the trajectories to deviations from spherical symmetry.
