In this paper, the authors describe a procedure for generalizing static axially symmetric solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations, and employ this procedure to append an external gravitational field to the C-metric black hole solution.
Abstract
We describe a procedure for generalizing static axially symmetric solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations, and employ this procedure to append an external gravitational field to the C‐metric black hole solution. We conjecture that if the strength of the appended gravitational field is chosen appropriately, our generalized C‐metric will serve as a better model for an accelerating black hole than the original C‐metric.

Boost-rotation symmetric spacetimes – Review

TL;DR: Several examples of boost-rotation symmetric solutions of the Maxwell and Einstein equations are studied: uniformly accelerated electric and magnetic multipoles, the Bonnor-Swaminarayan solutions, the C-metric, and the spinning Cmetric as mentioned in this paper.

Spinning C metric: Radiative spacetime with accelerating, rotating black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors transform the spinning C-metric into Weyl coordinates and analyze some of its properties as Killing vectors and curvature invariants, and then a transformation is found which brings the metric into the canonical form of the radiative spacetimes with the boost-rotation symmetry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the Reissner-Nordstrom solution of general relativity and the Born solution of classical electrodynamics is discussed. But the authors do not consider the solution as asymptotically flat.

Removal of the nodal singularity of the C‐metric

TL;DR: In this paper, the charged C-metric is transformed into another exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations corresponding to a massive charged particle accelerated by an electric field.
