Abstract

We consider gravitational interaction between two spinning pointlike particles. We use a fastmotion approximation and we obtain the first-order gravitational field and motion equations. Following the method developed by Bel and Martin we get up to the first order: the accelerations, momentum, energy, and a Hamiltonian of the system. This Hamiltonian, when it is expanded in a power series ofc −1, agrees with those of earlier authors, who use different techniques.
