The residual gauge freedom within the null quasi-spherical coordinate
condition is studied, for spacetimes admitting an expanding, shear-free null
foliation. The freedom consists of a boost and rotation at each coordinate
sphere, corresponding to a specification of inertial frame at each sphere.
Explicit formulae involving arbitrary functions of two variables are obtained
for the accelerated Minkowski, Schwarzschild, and Robinson-Trautman spacetimes.
These examples will be useful as test metrics in numerical relativity.Comment: 20 pages, revte
