The passage around this formula
Fix the slicing convention that anchors the centroid to the body’s own rest frame — the choice, standard in the spinning-body literature, in which the spin tensor about the centroid satisfies = 0 — and ask how moves as u is varied away from the body’s own rest-frame observer to some other inertial observer boosted at velocity relative to it. Costa and Natário’s synthesis of the classical spinning-body literature gives the answer in closed form: the centroid measured by the boosted observer is displaced from the rest-frame centroid by . a shift transverse to both the spin and the relative velocity [ 13 ] . This is an exact…
