Abstract

We analyze asymptotic structure of general gravitational and electromagnetic fields near an anti-de Sitter-like conformal infinity. Dependence of the radiative component of the fields on a null direction along which the infinity is approached is obtained. The directional pattern of outgoing and ingoing radiation, which supplements standard peeling property, is determined by the algebraic (Petrov) type of the fields and also by orientation of principal null directions with respect to the timelike infinity. The dependence on the orientation is a new feature if compared to spacelike infinity.
