Classical monopoles: Newton, NUT space, gravomagnetic lensing, and atomic spectra

Lynden-Bell, D.; Nouri-Zonoz, M.

This article reviews the dynamics and observational signatures of particles interacting with monopoles, beginning with a scholium in Newton'sPrincipia. The orbits of particles in the field of a gravomagnetic monopole, the gravitational analog of a magnetic monopole, lie on cones; when the cones are slit open and flattened, the orbits are the ellip…
