Following the work of Kinnersley and Walker for flat spacetimes, we have analyzed the anti-de Sitter C-metric in a previous paper. In the de Sitter case, Podolsky and Griffiths have established that the de Sitter C-metric (dS C-metric)…
We present a technique that can be used to generate a static, axisymmetric solution of the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton equations from a stationary, axisymmetric solution of the vacuum Einstein equations. Starting from the Kerr solution,…
The analysis of singular regions in the NUT solutions carried out in the recent paper (Manko and Ruiz, 2005 Class. Quantum Grav. 22, p.3555) is now extended to the Demianski-Newman vacuum and electrovacuum spacetimes. We show that the…

We construct new solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations with cosmological constant. These solutions describe spacetimes with non-trivial topology that are asymptotically dS, AdS or flat. For a negative cosmological constant these…
In astronomy, gravitational lensing of light leads to the formation of multiple images, arcs, Einstein rings, and, most important, the shadow of black holes. Analogously in the vicinity of a massive compact object massive particles,…

A class of new solutions that generalizes the Frolov regular black hole solution is obtained. The generalization is performed by adding the cosmological constant and surrounding the black hole with a fluid of strings. Among these solutions,…
A key obstacle for theory-specific tests of general relativity is the lack of accurate black-hole solutions in beyond-Einstein theories, especially for moderate to high spins. We address this by developing a general framework--based on…
