Radiating Kerr–Newman black hole in f(R) gravity

We derive an exact radiating Kerr-Newman like black hole solution, with constant curvature $R=R_0$ imposed, to {\it metric} $f(R)$ gravity via complex transformations suggested by Newman-Janis. This generates a geometry which is precisely that of radiating Kerr-Newman-de Sitter / anti-de Sitter with the $f(R)$ gravity contributing an $R_0$ cosmological-like term. The structure of three horizon-like surfaces, {\it viz.} timelike limit surface, apparent horizon and event horizon, are determined. We demonstrate the existence of an additional cosmological horizon, in $f(R)$ gravity model, apart from the regular black hole horizons that exist in the analogous general relativity case. In particular, the known stationary Kerr-Newman black hole solutions of $f(R)$ gravity and general relativity are retrieved. We find that the timelike limit surface becomes less prolate with $R_0$ thereby affecting the shape of the corresponding ergosphere.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, new text and reference adde
