Abstract

The gravitational radiation from a highly relativistic test particle spiralling inward toward a Kerr black hole along a conical surface is estimated. The spectra of several lowest multipoles depending on the polar angle of the falling particle at infinity are obtained for the frequency band ω≲c 3 GM−1.
