Intrinsic angular momentum in general relativity

There are several definitions of the notion of angular momentum in general relativity. However non of them can be said to capture the physical notion of intrinsic angular momentum of the sources in the presence of gravitational radiation. We present a definition which is appropriate for the description of intrinsic angular momentum in radiative spacetimes. This notion is required in calculations involving radiation of angular momentum, as for example is expected in binary coalescence of black holes.
