Abstract: A spacelike surface in Minkowski space $mathbb{R}_1^3$ is called a $K^{a}lpha$-translator of the flow by the powers of Gauss curvature if satisfies $K^{a}lpha=langleN,vecvangle$, $alphaeq0$, where $K$ is the Gauss curvature, $N$ is the unit normal vector field and $vecv$ is a direction of $mathbb{R}_1^3$. In this paper, we classify all rotational $K^{a}lpha$-translators. This classification will depend on the causal character of the rotation axis. Although the theory of the $K^{a}lpha$-flow holds for spacelike surfaces, the equation describing $K^{a}lpha$-translators is still valid for timelike surfaces. So we also investigate the timelike rotational surfaces that satisfy the same prescribing Gauss curvature equation.
