Abstract
It is shown how the special separability properties of the Kerr solution can be used to obtain an explicit analytic solution to the problem of constructing an orthonormal tetrad that is parallel-propagated along an arbitrary time-like geodesic. The components of the tidal tensor are calculated explicitly in terms of this tetrad. The special case of geodesics lying in the equatorial plane is examined.Keywords
