Abstract
AbstractThe asymptotic properties of conformally static metrics in Einstein–æther theory with a perfect fluid source and a scalar field are analyzed. In case of perfect fluid, some relativistic solutions are recovered such as: Minkowski spacetime, the Kasner solution, a flat FLRW space and static orbits depending on the barotropic parameter $$\gamma $$
