| Sumario: | Particles moving along prescribed, relativistically rotating trajectories may exhibit quite unexpected, interesting kinematic behavior. Their dynamics may lead to a number of physical processes that could have various important consequences in a wide variety of relativistic astrophysical objects. In this chapter the author gives brief review of the theoretical ideas and results related to Machabeli and Rogava gedankenexperiment (1994) and their astrophysical implications. In particular three astrophysical cases—acceleration of particles by rotating magnetospheres in AGNs, centrifugal acceleration and gamma flares in Crab nebula, and self-trapping as a beaming mechanism for Fast Radio Bursts—are discussed. Conclusions and future research prospects are briefly outlined. |
