Abstract
Using the method of differential forms a Kerr-like metric is derived as an exact solution of Einstein’s field equations corresponding to a perfect fluid distribution plus a pure radiation field. The solution is interpreted as a Kerr-like radiating metric in the cosmological background of an expanding universe. The radiating Kerr metric and the radiating associated Kerr metric are derived as particular cases. The details of the solution are also discussed.
