Scientific paper

By using an alternative method valid in weak and strong gravitational fields, we study beam collimation, light bending and time delays in the equatorial Kerr spacetime. Three applications are carried out. First, it is shown that the interaction “spin-orbit” could collimate a beam only if the particle or photon moves in a opposite direction to the compact object's spin. Secondly, the deflection angles of light rays grazing a quasar, a pulsar (PSR 1937+214), and a rotating black hole are computed and compared with approximate solutions. Finally, we calculate the photon's time delay traveling from SN1987A to Earth. The result of this undertaking is compared with a similar calculation using the PPN formalism.
