Accelerating NUT black holes

Understand

We present and analyze a class of exact spacetimes which describe accelerating black holes with a NUT parameter.

• First, we verify that the intricate metric found by Chng, Mann and Stelea in 2006 indeed solves Einstein's vacuum field equations of General Relativity.
• We explicitly calculate all components of the Weyl tensor and determine its algebraic structure.
• As it turns out, it is actually of algebraically general type I with four distinct principal null directions.
