Abstract

One of the necessary covariant conditions for gravitational radiation is the vanishing of the divergence of the magnetic Weyl tensor H_ab, while H_abitself is nonzero. We complete a recent analysis by showing that in irrotational dust spacetimes the condition div H=0 evolves consistently in the exact nonlinear theory.
