Bianchi type-II, VIII, and IX cosmological models with matter and electromagnetic fields

Abstract

We present analytic solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations for cosmological models of LRS Bianchi type-II, VIII, and IX. The solutions represent anisotropic universes with source-free electromagnetic fields and perfect fluids matter satisfying the equation of state that is a function of the cosmic-time. Some physical properties of the models have been discussed. © 1993 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
