Abstract

New exact solutions of the algebraic form for the static Einstein-Maxwell equations representing the exterior gravitational field of a massive magnetic dipole are derived. They are then used for construction of the stationary electrovacuum solutions reducing to the Schwarzschild metric in a pure vacuum limit.
