Scientific paper

Radial conformal motions are considered in conformally flat space-times and their properties are used to obtain conformal factors. The geodesic case leads directly to the conformal factor of Robertson-Walker universes. General cases admitting homogeneous expansion or orthogonal hypersurfaces of constant curvature are analyzed separately. When the two conditions above are considered together a subfamily of the Stephani perfect fluid solutions, with acceleration Fermi-Walker propagated along the flow of the fluid, follows. The corresponding conformal factors are calculated and contrasted with those associated with Robertson-Walker space-times.
