Charged particle motion in Kerr-Newmann space-times (1304.2142v1)

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 $-\infty \leq r \leq \infty$, 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.
