We show that the formal asymptotic limit for all rotating polytropic axisymmetric perfect MHD flows is a kinetic energy dominated wind which collimates to paraboloids around the symmetry axis. We reach this result by showing that another, a…
In electromagnetism, the concept of Poynting vector as measured by an observer is well known. A mathematical analogue in general relativity is the super-Poynting vector of the Weyl tensor. Observers for which the (super-)Poynting vector…

We study in detail the electromagnetic fields and the Poynting flux in the case of a uniformly accelerated charge, in order to examine whether such a charge does `emit' radiation, especially in view of the widely accepted fact that there is…
