Scientific paper

The purpose of this article is to present a simple apparatus for
demonstrating the Poynting-Robertson (PR) effect, which is of interest
in planetary astronomy. Our setup involves linear rather than rotational
motion, and only needs the standard air-track apparatus that is commonly
used in freshman labs to verify conservation of linear momentum.
