Parallel null partner for ingoing Schwarzschild rays ($U=-E{\partial }_r,N=E^{-1}({\partial }_v+\frac{1}{2}f{\partial }_r)$)

In the Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates metric $d{s}^2=-f(r)d{v}^2+2dvdr+r^{2}d{\Omega }^2$, where $f=1-2M/r$, the tangent $U=-E{\partial }_r$ is affine when $E>0$ is constant along each ray. The displayed radial partner obeys $N^2=0$ and $U\cdot N=-1$. Since ${\Gamma }^v{}_{rv}={\Gamma }^a{}_{rr}=0$ and ${\Gamma }^r{}_{rv}=-f^{\prime }/2$, its derivative ${\partial }_r{N}^r=f^{\prime }/(2E)$ cancels the connection term, giving ${\nabla }_{U}N=0$. Its screen is the angular two-plane, with optical tensor ${\hat{B}}_{AB}=-Er{\gamma }_{AB}$, null expansion $-2E/r$, and zero null shear and null twist.
