Abstract
The structure of polyhomogeneous space-times (i.e. space-times with me trics which admit an expansion in terms of r(-j) log(i) r) constructed by a Bondi-Sachs type method is analysed. The occurrence of some log terms in an asymptotic expansion of the metric is related to the non-v anishing of the Weyl tenser at I. The validity in this more general co ntext of various results from the standard treatment of I including th e Bondi mass loss formula, the peeling-off of the Riemann tenser and t he Newman-Penrose constants of motion, is considered.
