KnowraKerr metricLinked fromLinked fromThe 14 pages that link to Kerr metric, each with the reason it gives.All 14Broader topic 8Related 3Compared with 3General relativityBroader topic: It captures frame dragging and is used to model rotating black holes.Black holeRelated: It describes the rotating black holes thought to dominate the universe.Einstein field equationsBroader topic: It models strong gravity when angular momentum cannot be neglected.Event horizonBroader topic: Rotation changes the horizon's geometry and produces an inner horizon as well as an outer one.Schwarzschild metricCompared with: Unlike Schwarzschild, it includes angular momentum and describes rotating black holes.Schwarzschild radiusCompared with: Rotation gives its horizon a different radius from the Schwarzschild value.Frame-draggingRelated: Its off-diagonal spacetime geometry encodes frame-dragging around a rotating black hole.Kerr–Newman metricCompared with: Setting the electric charge to zero reduces Kerr–Newman to this rotating vacuum geometry.Penrose processRelated: The 1960s discovery of this solution made the relevant rotational-energy reservoir mathematically precise.No-hair theoremBroader topic: It is the exterior geometry for the astrophysically common case of negligible charge.Black hole astronomyBroader topic: Rotation changes the orbits and emission patterns inferred around astrophysical black holes.Geometrized unit systemBroader topic: Its mass and angular momentum parameters take length-based forms in this convention.Mathematics of general relativityBroader topic: It supplies the standard geometry for rotating black holes.Rotating black holeBroader topic: It gives the spacetime geometry around the rotating black hole.
