Abstract

The asymptotic structure of axisymmetric radiative spacetimes which need not admit global null infinity is discussed. It is shown that from the asymptotic symmetry group a unique translation subgroup can locally be singled out and the news tensor can be obtained. The asymptotic structure of axisymmetric spacetimes with an infinite cosmic string and some of the exact radiative solutions with boost-rotation symmetry are treated as examples.
