posted on 2005-12-05, 15:00 authored by Jerry Griffiths, J. PodolskyThe complete family of exact solutions representing accelerating and rotating black
holes with possible electromagnetic charges and a NUT parameter is known in terms
of a modified Pleba´nski–Demia´nski metric. This demonstrates the singularity and
horizon structure of the sources but not that the complete space-time describes two
causally separated black holes. To demonstrate this property, the metric is first cast
in the Weyl–Lewis–Papapetrou form. After extending this up to the acceleration
horizon, it is then transformed to the boost-rotation-symmetric form in which the
global properties of the solution are manifest. The physical interpretation of these
solutions is thus clarified.
