Comment on Charged Zipoy-Voorhees metric in string Theory

Abstract

In a recent paper by Yunusov et al. (2025) it is claimed that the charged Zipoy-Voorhees (ZV) metric found in a paper by Gurtug et al. (2022) does not satisfy the Einstein-Maxwell (EM) equations. It is our aim in this comment to show that this claim is invalid. Nevertheless, their stringy EM extension of the ZV metric remains valid.
