Abstract: (APS)
We find that the "quasispherical" spacetimes of Szekeres have conformally flat space slices in comoving coordinates. These spacetimes can represent pressureless nonspherical gravitational collapse with no gravitational radiation. We give a restriction on general-relativistic exact solutions for matter with pressure which admit flat comoving slices.
