Abstract
We classify all supersymmetric solutions of minimal D = 4 gauged supergravity with (2) signature and a positive cosmological constant which admit exactly one Killing spinor. This classification produces a geometric structure which is more general than that found for previous classifications of N = 2 supersymmetric solutions of this theory. We illustrate how the N = 2 solutions which consist of a fibration over a 3-dimensional Lorentzian Gauduchon-Tod base space can be written in terms of this more generic geometric structure.
