Dynamics of test particles in the five-dimensional, charged, rotating Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons spacetime

Abstract

We derive the complete set of geodesic equations for massive and massless test particles of a five-dimensional, charged, rotating black hole solution of the Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons field equations in five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity and present their analytical solutions in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions. We study the polar and radial motion, depending on the black hole and test particle parameters, and characterize the test particle motion qualitatively by means of effective potentials. We use the analytical solutions in order to visualize the test particle motion by two- and three-dimensional plots.
