Abstract

This paper implements an idea suggested by Penrose and MacCallum. Starting from the twistor equation for a symmetric two-index spinor, it provides a derivation of expressions for energy momentum and angular momentum of an isolated gravitational system at future null infinity in general relativity. The approach employed here is rather straightforward and is related to symmetries in a convincing way.
