The time-averaged rates of change of the energy and the angular momentum can be obtained by computing the corresponding fluxes of gravitational waves emitted by the particle. By contrast, the time-averaged rate of change of the Carter constant cannot be expressed as a flux of gravitational waves. Recently a method to compute this rate of change was proposed by Mino, and we refined it into a simplified form. In this paper we further extend our previous work to give a new formulation without the aid of expansion in terms of a small inclination angle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-05-31T11:13:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "04.50.+h", "98.80.Cq" ], "keywords": [ "greatly inclined orbits", "kerr spacetime", "adiabatic evolution", "carter constant", "angular momentum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Progress of Theoretical Physics", "year": 2007, "month": "Jun", "volume": 117, "number": 6, "pages": 1041 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 744250, "adsabs": "2007PThPh.117.1041G" } } }
