A comment on the Outgoing Radiation Condition and the Peeling Theorem

Abstract

The connection between the Bondi-Sachs (BS) and the Newman-Penrose (NP) framework for the study of the asymptotics of the gravitational field is done. In particular the coordinate transformation relationg the BS luminosity parameter and the NP affine parameter is obtained. Using this coordinate transformation it is possible to express BS quantities in terms of NP quantities, and to show that if the Outgoing Radiation Condition is not satisfied then the spacetime will not decay in the way prescribed by the Peeling theorem.
