Five-parameter exterior solution of the Einstein--Maxwell field equations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D, v. 8, no. 10, pp. 3302-3308
A five-parameter solution of the combined Einstein-Maxwell equations is given which describes a source containing mass, electric charge, magnetic dipole, higher multipole moments of all three kinds, and angular momentum. The solution is obtained by using Kinnersley's method of generating stationary Einstein- Maxwell fields from known solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations. We start with a two-parameter solution of a system having mass and a magnetic dipole moment discovered by Misra, Pandey, Srivastava, and Tripathi. All solutions discussed in this paper are asymptotically flat, and all have infinite red-shift surfaces that are singular. Possible relevance of these solutions to black-hole physics is remarkable upon. (auth)
