Figure 1

In this figure the two components of the self-force are plotted for the case of a particle undergoing radial infall after being held at rest until a time $t=0$. The particle’s initial location is at $r^{*}=40M$ which corresponds to $r\approx 34.43M$. The dashed curve corresponds to $f_t$ and the solid curve to $f_{r^{*}}$.Reuse & Permissions
