Scientific paper

The description of the relativistic motion in terms of forces, proposed in [26], and its application to the problem of gyroscopic precession in [28] are used for a gyroscope on a zero-angular-momentum spherical polar orbit in the Kerr field. Whereas far from the centre the backward Thomas precession is dominant, below the photon geodesic spherical polar orbit the forward geodetic effect prevails. In this region (the theta-rotosphere) the gyro's radial acceleration depends in a ``reverse'' manner on the orbital angular velocity. Also the dragging term rotates the gyroscope in a way consistent with intuition.
