Timelike and null geodesics in the Schwarzschild space-time: Analytical solutions (2304.12823v1)
Published 25 Apr 2023 in gr-qc
Abstract: The theory of Schwarzschild geodesics is revisited. Using a theorem due to Weierstrass and Biermann, we derive concise formulas describing all timelike and null trajectories in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions. The formulation given in this note uses an analogue of the so-called Mino time.
