Abstract: The momentum operator $$ has radial component $$ We show that $$ is the space part of a 4-vector operator, the zero component of which is a positive operator. Their eigenfunctions are localized along an axis through the origin. The solutions of the evolution equation $ipartia{l}_{t}psi=ilde{p}^{0}psi$ are waves along the propagation axis. Lorentz transformations of these waves yield the aberration and Doppler shift. We briefly consider spin-half and spin-one representations.
