Scientific paper

We study the gravitomagnetic (Lense-Thirring) precession of the trajectory (approximated by a geodesic) of a star orbiting supermassive rotating (Kerr) black hole. We do not assume any particular value for the eccentricity or inclination of the orbit or the angular momentum of the black hole. We also discuss the periodicity related to the relativistic shift of the pericenter. A possible relevance of our models to supernovae and gamma-ray bursts is discussed.
