Abstract

In this paper, we review the classification of the orbits followed by charged massive test particles in the gravitational background of the black hole solutions of Einstein-Born-Infeld spacetime. Even though some features are quite similar to those of Reissner-Nordstr"om spacetime, there are also important differences, particularly those related to the effective potential governing the orbital motion. Explicit solutions involving Weierstrass functions are given for a pair of specific scenarios.
