Abstract

A new metric depending on three arbitrary parameters is presented by the method of complex coordinate transformations. It gives the gravitational field of a radiating rotating charged body. The metric is algebraically special of Petrov type II according to classification of the Weyl tensor, with a twisting, shear-free, null congruence identical to that of the Kerr-Newman metric. The new metric bears the same relation to the Kerr-Newman metric as the Bonner-Vaidya metric does to the Reissner-Nordstrom metric.
