The Kerr metric or Kerr geometry describes the geometry of empty spacetime around a rotating uncharged axially symmetric black hole with a quasispherical event horizon.The Kerr metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity; these equations are highly non-linear, which makes exact solutions very difficult to find.
The spectral distortion in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) looks different depending on the moment in the universe's history where this black body was modified. At very early times where z > 10 6 {\displaystyle z>10^{6}} , any injection of energy emerges as a temperature shift in the black body.

The Kerr–Newman metric describes the spacetime geometry around a mass which is electrically charged and rotating. It is a vacuum solution which generalizes the Kerr metric (which describes an uncharged, rotating mass) by additionally taking into account the energy of an electromagnetic field, making it the most general asymptotically flat and stationary solution of the Einstein–Maxwell ...
This paper predicted the existence of what are today known as black holes. [1] [7] The term "black hole" was coined decades later, in the fall of 1967, by John Archibald Wheeler at a conference held by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City; [7] it appeared for the first time in print the following year.

A black hole with modest angular momentum has an ergosphere with a shape approximated by an oblate spheroid, while faster spins produce a more pumpkin-shaped ergosphere. The equatorial (maximal) radius of an ergosphere is the Schwarzschild radius, the radius of a non-rotating black hole. The polar (minimal) radius is also the polar (minimal ...
Black holes with 2r Q > r s cannot exist in nature because if the charge is greater than the mass there can be no physical event horizon (the term under the square root becomes negative). [9] Objects with a charge greater than their mass can exist in nature, but they can not collapse down to a black hole, and if they could, they would display a ...
For small mass black holes, the two are very different — there is a singularity at the center of the black hole, and there is no singularity past the cosmological horizon. But the Nariai limit considers making the black hole bigger and bigger, until its event horizon has the same area as the cosmological de Sitter horizon.
