Metric for two equal Kerr black holes

Abstract

We show that the exact solution of Einstein's equations describing a system of two aligned identical Kerr black holes separated by a massless strut follows straightforwardly from the extended 2-soliton solution possessing equatorial symmetry, and we give its concise analytic representation in terms of physical parameters.
