Abstract

A class of exact solutions of Einstein's equations is analyzed which describes uniformly accelerating charged black holes in an asymptotically de Sitter universe. This is a generalization of the C metric which includes a cosmological constant. The physical interpretation of the solutions is facilitated by the introduction of a new coordinate system for de Sitter space which is adapted to accelerating observers in this background. The solutions considered reduce to this form of the de Sitter metric when the mass and charge of the black holes vanish.
