Abstract
Somenewresults on the boost-rotation symmetric spacetimes representing pairs of rotating charged objects accelerated in opposite directions are summarized.A particular attention is paid to (a) the Newtonian limit analyzed using the Ehlers frame theory and (b) the special-relativistic limit of the C-metric. Starting from the new, simpler form of the rotating charged C-metric we also show how to remove nodal singularities and obtain a rotating charged black hole freely falling in an external electromagnetic field.
