Dynamics of classical strings in Rindler Space

The fundamental degrees of freedom in string theory are extended objects. Solving their equations of motion can be difficult unless they are considered in very constrained situations. We investigate the dynamics of gravitational D-brane radiation. Results of others are reviewed which show that in the static case the string prole of Newtonian and relativistic strings are the same. We show that for slow moving strings the relativistic solution agrees with the classical one.
