Abstract

We discuss spherically symmetric exact solutions of the Einstein equations for quintessential matter surrounding a black hole, which has an additional parameter (ω\omega) due to the quintessential matter, apart from the mass (MM). In turn, we employ the Newman-Janis complex transformation to this spherical quintessence black hole solution and present a rotating counterpart that is identified, for α=e20\alpha=-e^2 \neq 0 and ω=1/3\omega=1/3, exactly as the Kerr-Newman black hole, and as the Kerr black hole when α=0\alpha=0. Interestingly, for a given value of parameter ω\omega, there exists a critical rotation parameter (a=aEa=a_{E}), which corresponds to an extremal black hole with degenerate horizons, while for a<aEa<a_{E}, it describes a non-extremal black hole with Cauchy and event horizons, and no black hole for a>aEa>a_{E}. We find that the extremal value aEa_E is also influenced by the parameter ω\omega and so is the ergoregion.
