We present a new family of Petrov type D pure radiation spacetimes with a shear-free, non-diverging geodesic principal null congruence.
We investigate the cylindrical class of Newman Tamburino equations in the presence of an aligned Maxwell field. After obtaining a complete integration of the field equations we look at the possible vacuum limits and we examine the symmetries of the general solution.
We prove that there exists no aligned Einstein Maxwell generalization of the spherical class of Newman Tamburino solutions. The presence of an aligned Maxwell field automatically leads to the cylindrical class.
