GOMEZ LOPEZ, L.A. e QUIROGA, G.D.. Asymptotic structure of spacetime and the Newman-Penrose formalism: a brief review. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2017, vol.63, n.3, pp.275-286. ISSN 0035-001X.
A brief review about the Newman-Penrose formalism and the asymptotic structure of the spacetime is given. The goal of this review is to describe the latest developments in these topics and make a summary of the most important articles published by Newman and collaborators. Additionally, we discuss some aspects of this approach, and we compute the spin coefficients and the Weyl scalars for a general stationary axisymmetric spacetimes in a tetrad basis different from that defined by the principal null geodesic directions.
