Abstract

The field and wave equations for gravitons with arbitrary sources that take place in the frameworks of the Infeld-van der Waerden spinor formalisms for general relativity are briefly revised. Such equations are subsequently particularized for the case which involves electromagnetic sources coming from spin curvatures. The resulting source contributions appear to carry physically meaningful configurations that have not been exhibited hitherto.
