Classics illustrated: limits of spacetimes

• We carefully study the e→m and e→0 limits of the Reissner-Nordström spacetime using Geroch's definition of limits of spacetimes. This is implemented by embedding the one-parameter family of spacetimes in anti-de Sitter space, and as a result we obtain metrically correct Penrose diagrams. For e→m two distinct limits are studied.
