The Lens-Thirring effect is a type of this effect that corrects for the motion of the orbital plane of a body.
One variety of this effect arises from transporting a vector over an accelerated path and is used to take relativistic time dilation into account when considering spin-orbit coupling; that variety is named for Thomas. The Lens-Thirring effect is a type of this effect that corrects for the motion of the orbital plane of a body. When a magnetic field is applied to an electron in motion about a nucleus, it results in a form of this named for (*) Larmor. In a few thousand years, this phenomenon will cause Vega to become the North Star. Coming in torque-free and torque-induced varieties, for 10 points, identify this effect wherein a body's axis of rotation spins, which is is responsible for the wobbling motion of tops.
