Tangential force, Frictional Torque and Heating Rate of a Small Neutral
Rotating Particle Moving through the Equilibrium Background Radiation    [PDF]

G. V. Dedkov, A. A. Kyasov

For the first time, based on the fluctuation-electromagnetic theory, we have calculated the drug force, the radiation heat flux and the frictional torque on a small rotating particle moving at a relativistic velocity through the equilibrium background radiation (photon gas). The particle and background radiation are characterized by different temperatures corresponding to the local thermodynamic equilibrium in their own reference frames.
