THE INFLUENCE OF THE INERTIAL DRAGGING EFFECT ON GRAVITATIONAL RADIATION EMITTED FROM A PARTICLE MOVING IN EQUATORIAL GEODESIC CIRCULAR ORBIT ABOUT A KERR’S BLACK HOLE

Using Chranowski and Misner’s equations,1 gravitational radiation emitted from a particle moving in an equatorial geodesic circular orbit about a Kerr’s black hole is calculated. Outside the classical turning point, the radiation energy can be represented as a continuous function of orbital radius of the particle, and thus a corresponding curve is obtained. Using Wilkins’ approach,2 two inertial dragging related functions are obtained by restricting the orbit of the particle to the equatorial plane of a Kerr’s black hole. By comparing the curve of the gravitational radiation and the curves of the simulating functions (consisting of the angular frequency and the drag related function), we come to the conclusion that inertial dragging effect on a particle is one of the main factors that influences the gravitational radiation.
