HACYAN, S.. Some remarks on the Bel-Robinson tensor and gravitational radiation. Rev. mex. fís. E [online]. 2018, vol.64, n.1, pp.39-41. ISSN 1870-3542.

The asymptotic form of the Bel-Robinson tensor in the gravitational radiation-zone is obtained in terms of the mass quadrupole of the source. A comparison is made with the standard formula for the gravitational power emission. The problem of a fully covariant description of gravitational radiation in terms of this tensor is briefly discussed.

Keywords : Gravitational waves.
