Bound States of Central Force System in Special Relativity (2208.06505v1)
Published 12 Aug 2022 in physics.class-ph
Abstract: In this paper we consider the central force problem in the special theory of relativity. We derive the special relativistic version of the Binet equation describing the orbit of a body. Then, the motion of a planet in a solar-like system where the gravitational potential is modified by adding a term that is proportional to the inverse of the square of the radial coordinate is discussed. Using perturbative method, we obtain the explicit orbital function. At the end, the orbital precession of the planet and its relation to the result from general relativity are also discussed.
