摘      要：A binary gravitational rotator, also called the two-body problem, is a pair of masses m1, m2 moving around their center-of-mass (com) in their own gravitational field. In Newtonian gravitation, the two-body problem can be described by a single reduced mass (gravitational rotator) mr = m1m2/(m1+m2) orbiting around the total mass m = m1+m2 situated in com in the distance r, which is the distance between the two original masses. In this paper, we discuss the rotator in Newtonian, Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetime context. We formulate the corresponding Kerr orbit equations, and adapt the Kerr rotational parameter to the Newtonian correction of the rotator potential. We present a vacuum solution of Einstein equations (Manko-Ruiz), which is a generalized Kerr spacetime with five parameters gμν (m1, m2, R, a1, a2), and adapt it to the Newtonian correction for observer orbits. We show that the Manko-Ruiz metric is the exact solution of the GR-two-body problem (i.e. GR-rotator) and express the orbit energy and angular momentum in terms of the 5 parameters. We calculate and discuss Manko-Ruiz rotator orbits in their own field, and present numerical results for two examples. Finally, we carry out numerical calculations of observer orbits in the rotator field for all involved models and compare them.
