Scientific paper

We show that a Robinson-Trautman radiating metric has zero Bondi news if and only if it is a Kinnersley metric for a point mass accelerating arbitrarily with the emission of matter of zero rest mass. This corrects a statement, which we made in a recent paper (1999 Class. Quantum Grav. 16 611-7), that the news function vanishes only for those Kinnersley metrics that have axial symmetry. It follows that none of the `photon rockets' of the Kinnersley family generate gravitational waves.
