Abstract
We describe a procedure for generalizing static axially symmetric solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations, and employ this procedure to append an external gravitational field to the C‐metric black hole solution. We conjecture that if the strength of the appended gravitational field is chosen appropriately, our generalized C‐metric will serve as a better model for an accelerating black hole than the original C‐metric.Keywords
