Charged particle motion in Kerr-Newmann space-times
Abstract
The motion of charged test particles in the gravitational field of a rotating and electromagnetically charged black hole as described by the Kerr-Newman metric is considered. We completely classify the colatitudinal and radial motion on the extended manifold -∞≤r≤∞, including orbits crossing the horizons or r=0. Analytical solutions of the equations of motion in terms of elliptic functions are presented which are valid for all types of orbits.
