The classical equations of motion of a massless spinning test particle are derived as a limiting case of Mathisson-Papapetrou equations. It is shown that when a particular supplementary condition is assumed the particle follows a null geodesic and the spin is either parallel or antiparallel to the d
The theory for a spin-two massless-particle field interacting with sources is developed, in parallel with Maxwell's theory for photons interacting with charges. In the spin-two case there are two fields Eij and &, which are symmetric traceless tensors of opposite parity. Whereas a Maxwell source mus
