Black Hole Spin and Stellar Flyby Periastron Shift

For a scenario of a close flyby of a compact star near a spinning black hole, we provide analytical and numerical estimates for the shift of trajectory periastron due to relativistic (beyond post-Newtonian) effects. More specifically, we derived a generalized expression (not limited to quasi-circula...
