The authors' main claim The occurrence of some log terms in an asymptotic expansion of the metric is related to the non--vanishing of the Weyl tensor at Scri.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
The structure of polyhomogeneous space-times (i.e., space-times with metrics 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--vanishing of the Weyl tensor at Scri. Various quantities of interest, including the Bondi mass loss formula, the peeling--off of the Riemann tensor and the Newman--Penrose constants of motion are re-examined in this context.

It is interesting to note that this structure is analogous to the four-dimensional asymptotically-flat case, where the subleading term after the shear in the expansion of the transverse metric can also contain a trace-free part sourcing logarithmic terms in the metric [ref] .

The advantage of working at spacelike infinity is that it requires less regularity assumptions on the class of spacetimes that are considered, since it does not assume the existence of a smooth null infinity [ref] .

As a result, we shall not discuss the AdS origin, if any, of the logarithmic terms that one has to include in order to describe all relevant Ricci-flat metrics near null infinity [ref] .] In the rest of this introduction we shall summarise the details of this identification, while commenting on the subtleties it undiscloses.
