Abstract

The Killing Yano tensors of order two admitted by a general class of spherically symmetric static space-times are found. All such space-times admit at least one Killing Yano tensor and four special cases exist, one admitting four Killing Yano tensors the others admitting ten Killing Yano tensors. The Killing Yano tensors are used to construct second order non-stationary Killing tensors and the nature of the redundancy of these Killing tensors is discussed with reference to the time dependence of the constituent tensors/vectors.
