Precession Rate vs Central Body Angular Momentum (J)

Fórmula

Lense-Thirring Frame Dragging

A rotating massive body drags the surrounding spacetime, causing gyroscopes to precess.

Formula

Omega_LT = 2GJ / (c^2 r^3)

  • *G* = gravitational constant
  • *J* = angular momentum of the central body
  • *c* = speed of light
  • *r* = orbital radius
  • This effect was confirmed by Gravity Probe B to within about 19% of the predicted value for Earth.

    Ejemplo Resuelto

    Satellite at 630 km altitude around Earth (r = 7e6 m, J_Earth = 7.07e33 kg m2/s).

    1. 01Omega = 2 * 6.674e-11 * 7.07e33 / (8.988e16 * 3.43e20)
    2. 02= 9.437e23 / 3.083e37
    3. 03= 3.061e-14 rad/s
    4. 04In mas/yr: about 39 mas/yr

    Preguntas Frecuentes

    What is frame dragging?

    A rotating mass drags spacetime around with it, similar to how a spinning ball in honey drags the surrounding fluid. This is a prediction of general relativity.

    How was frame dragging measured?

    Gravity Probe B (2004-2005) used four ultra-precise gyroscopes in orbit to detect the tiny precession. The LAGEOS satellites also provided evidence through laser ranging.

    Is frame dragging significant near black holes?

    Yes. Near a rotating (Kerr) black hole, frame dragging is enormous and creates the ergosphere, a region where nothing can remain stationary.
