Abstract
We derive the kinematical magnification of tidal accelerations which occurs for test bodies in highly relativistic orbits preferentially aligned with respect to repeated principal null rays of algebraically special spacetimes. Some examples of astrophysical importance are discussed. A general expression for computing tidal accelerations in the Newman-Penrose formalism is given.
