  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The invariant theory of gravitational radiation derived using the energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field is applied to exact solutions of the Einstein equation found by Kundt [2]. It is concluded that these solutions generally describe gravitational waves with sources.
