Photon, charged & neutral particle orbits around a rotating and charged body
Left: projection to the x,z and right: the x,y plane, natural units in G=M=c=kB=1
The circling dot with the dashed trail is a ZAMO at the particle's start position

a is the central body's spin parameter, ℧ its charge and q the particle's charge
The horizon and ergosphere color code is as in https://tinyurl.com/2p9a5y4h
The conserved quantities are E total, L axial aka Lz and the Carter constant Q
Local velocities at the bottom of the numeric display are relative to ZAMOs

Metric: Kerr Newman, http://scholarpedia.org/article/Kerr-Newman_metric
Coordinates: Boyer Lindquist cartesian projection, http://shorturl.at/nrHY5
