Abstract
We show that the Gowdy metrics on contain an infinite-dimensional subfamily of solutions which each admit a Taub-NUT (Newman-Unti-Tamburino)-type extension. However we also show that the generic (diagonal) Gowdy solution develops curvature singularities along the boundary of its maximal Cauchy development and thus is inextendible.
