The post-Newtonian motion around an oblate spheroid: the mixed orbital effects due to the Newtonian oblateness and the post-Newtonian mass monopole accelerations
When a test particle moves about an oblate spheroid, it is acted upon, among other things, by two standard perturbing accelerations. One, of Newtonian origin, is due to the quadrupole mass moment J 2 of the orbited body. The other one, of order O 1 / c 2 , is caused by the static, post-Newtonian fie...

. They are of the same order of magnitude of the direct ones induced by the post-Newtonian acceleration arising in presence of an oblate source, not treated here. We calculate these less known features of motion in their full generality in terms of the osculating Keplerian orbital elements. Subtleties pertaining the correct calculation of their mixed net precessions per orbit to the full order of
