Radiation Coordinates of

In this work we construct the element of volume vector r dσ of a surface of constant retarded distance around the trajectory of a charged particle with arbitrary motion in a Riemannian space. This constitutes a generalization of the method pioneered by Synge [1] in special relativity. The technique employed is suggested by the ‘radiation coordinates’ r y introduced by Florides-McCrea-Synge [2, 3] in the study of gravitational radiation.
