A heuristic way of obtaining the Kerr metric
- CST-1, MS M888, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 (United States)
An intuitive, straightforward way of finding the metric of a rotating black hole is presented, based on the algebra of differential forms. The representation obtained for the metric displays a simplicity which is not obvious in the usual Boyer{endash}Lindquist coordinates. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Association of Physics Teachers.}
