SUPERPOSITION OF WEYL SOLUTIONS:: CIRCULAR ORBITS.

Circular orbits are examined in static spacetimes belonging to the Weyl class of vacuum solutions which represent (nonlinear) superposition of the gravitational fields generated by certain collinear distributions of matter. In particular, solutions representing two and three Chazy–Curzon particles — all of them endowed with conical singularities — are considered. Conditions for geodesic motion in certain symmetry planes are discussed and results are summarized in a number of graphics too. All the discussion is developed in the framework of observer-dependent analysis of motion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
