Abstract

Using Galilean time and retarded distance as coordinates, the combined Kerr-NUT metric is investigated in connection with Einstein field equations for a perfect fluid plus a pure radiation field. Two particular solutions of the field equations are discussed. One of them describes the field of a Kerr particle embedded in flat Robertson-Walker universe.
