Equations of motion for quadrupolar particle in General Relativistic Theory.
A. A. Sokolsky

In the framework of General Relativity, the equations of orbital and spin motion for a particle with quadrupole moments of mass and electric charge in electromagnetic and gravitational fields are derived. The equations can be used to take account of perturbances caused by the influence of quadrupole moments on the movement of relativistic astrophysical objects.
Key words: General Relativity, quadrupolar particle, equations of motion
