Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the ultra-relativistic limit of a recent causal theory proposed for polyatomic dissipative relativistic gas. The explicitly expression of characteristic velocities of the hyperbolic system is found in term of the degree of freedom of the gas and compared with the one of monatomic gas.
