Abstract

The equilibrium statistical moments of the J¨uttner distribution function for a massive and a photon gas in an arbitrary spacetime are evaluated using a covariant approach and applications are considered to the case of a Schwarzschild black hole background spacetime. The motion of a massive test particle inside a photon gas is then studied to investigate drag effects on the particle motion due to radiation scattering, similarly to what happens for the so-called Poynting-Robertson effect.
