Massive Particles
> s.a. Carter Constant; gravitomagnetism;
types of geodesics.
* Geodesics: Bound
geodesic orbits can be parametrized by three constants of the motion,
the (specific) orbital energy, angular momentum and the Carter constant
(found by Brandon Carter in 1968 and later found to be associated with
the existence of a Killing tensor by Walker and Penrose).
* Overspinning: A
near-extremal Kerr black hole can be spun up beyond its extremal
limit by having it capture a test particle.
* Aschenbach effect:
For Kerr black holes with a spin parameter a > 0.9953, the
velocity has a positive radial gradient for geodesic, stable, circular
orbits in a small radial range close to the black-hole horizon.

* Kerr-cft correspondence:
Proposed by Strominger in 2008; It is similar to the AdS/cft correspondence,
but with more potential astrophysical applications.
