Abstract: We show that analytic solutions $mcE$ of the Ernst equation with non-empty zero-level-set of $RemcE$ lead to smooth ergosurfaces in space-time. In fact, the space-time metric is smooth near a "Ernst ergosurface" $E_f$ if and only if $mcE$ is smooth near $E_f$ and does not have zeros of infinite order there.
