Abstract
The stationary solutions given by Amenedo and Manko generated from kno wn solutions of Laplace's equation as seed have been generalised to in clude the electromagnetic field. Further, the exterior solution of an axially symmetric rotating body with higher multipole moments and a so lution corresponding to a Kerr object embedded in a gravitational fiel d are given. We also give a method for constructing stationary vacuum solutions from static magnetovac solutions and vice versa and discuss a specific application of this method.
