Abstract

We show that the whole of the gravitomagnetic clock effect in the orbit of a spinning test particle which is revolving round a spinning central massive astrophysical body can be calculated using a gravitational spin-orbit coupling potential which involves the two spins and the orbital angular momentum of the test particle.

Keywords

clock effect; spinning particle; spin-orbit coupling
