smallest radius at which a test particle can orbit a black hole stably, depending on spin and used to measure it.

In gravitational physics, innermost stable circular orbit refers to smallest radius at which a test particle can orbit a black hole stably, depending on spin and used to measure it. This meaning comes from Bardeen (1972) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
