Abstract

Class of axially symmetric solutions of vacuum Einstein field equations including the Papapetrou solution as particular case has been found. It has been shown that the derived solution describes the external axial symmetric gravitational field of the source with nonvanishing mass. The general solution is obtained for this class of functions. As an example of physical application, the spacetime metric outside a line gravitomagnetic monopole has been obtained from Papapetrou solution of vacuum equations of gravitational field.
