Different forms of the metric for the Kerr–NUT–(anti-)de Sitter spacetime are being widely used in its extension to higher dimensions. The purpose of this note is to relate the parameters that are being used to the physical parameters (mass, rotation, NUT and cosmological constant) in the basic four-dimensional situation.
