Massive neutral particles on heterotic string theory

The motion of massive particles in the background of a charged black hole in heterotic string theory, which is characterized by a parameter $\alpha$, is studied in detail in this paper. Since it is possible to write this space-time in the Einstein frame, we perform a quantitative analysis of the time-like geodesics by means of the standard Lagrange procedure. Thus, we obtain and solve a set of differential equations and then we describe the orbits in terms of the elliptic $\wp$-Weierstra{\ss} function. Also, by making an elementary derivation developed by Cornbleet (Am. J. Phys. \textbf{61} 7, (1993) 650 - 651) we obtain the correction to the angle of advance of perihelion to first order in $\alpha$, and thus, by comparing with Mercury's data we give an estimation for the value of this parameter, which yields an {\it heterotic solar charge} $Q_{\odot}\simeq 0.728\,[\textrm{Km}]= 0.493\, M_{\odot}$. Therefore, in addition to the study on null geodesics performed by Fernando (Phys. Rev. D {\bf 85}, (2012) 024033), this work completes the geodesic structure for this class of space-time.
