Default Spinning bodies at relativistic speeds - any pointers?

Hi all,

Could anyone point me towards some papers / references areas of study that
look at bodies spinning at relativistic speeds and their interactions under
general rel?

tia,
Dave

Default Spinning bodies at relativistic speeds - any pointers?

Hello there again,

I found the answer to my admitedly vague question, the effect is called
frame drag or the Lense-Thirring effect and gravity probe b is investigating
it at http://einstein.stanford.edu/ and an article here for those curious
http://www.edn.com/index.asp?layout=...cleid=CA486569. Please
forgive my naive questions I'm relearning relativity after 20 years absence
from uni and physics.
