✦ Synopsis

A formula is obtained for the retarded solution of the Einstein field equations for a spatially compact source to second order in a weak field expansion. The energy radiated away from the source is evaluated and is found to be equal to the linearized expression despite the inclusion of back-scatter terms. It is also shown that, to the order considered, back-scatter cannot destroy the asymptotic flatness of a space-time.

It is shown that a charge, accelerated by a gravitational field, radiates as if it were accelerated by any other external force. General relativistic effects appear only as corrections, which can be neglected for slow motions in weak fields. The bearing of this fact upon the equivalence principle is
