On physics of the Poynting-Robertson effect
Abstract
Detailed discussion of university textbook statements (Harwit 1988) concerning the Poynting-Robertson effect (P-R effect) is presented. Discussion is concentrated on better physical understanding of the P-R effect. References to complete correct equation of motion for real dust particle are also presented.
