Description

We shall discuss whether a pole-dipole-quadrupole body described by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations can move on geodesic trajectories in a black hole spacetime background. We shall use the Ohashi-Kyrian-Semerak spin supplementary condition to fix the centroid of the body, since under this condition the four-momentum can be set parallel to the four-velocity as holds for geodesic motion.
