Horizons and Geodesics of Black Ellipsoids

We analyze the horizon and geodesic structure of a class of 4D off–diagonal metrics with deformed spherical symmetries, which are exact solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations with anholonomic variables. The maximal analytic extension of the ellipsoid type metrics are constructed and the Penrose diagrams are analyzed with respect to adapted frames. We prove that for small deformations (small eccentricities) there are such metrics that the geodesic behaviour is similar to the Schwarzcshild one. We conclude that some vacuum static and stationary ellipsoid configurations may describe black ellipsoid objects.
