The paper examines mass aspects at future null infinity and limits of quasilocal mass.

method Review and extension of Bondi mass and mass loss formula in Bondi-Sachs coordinate system.
result New results about the limit of quasilocal mass of unit spheres at null infinity.

There are two important statements regarding the Trautman-Bondi mass at null infinity: one is the positivity, and the other is the Bondi mass loss formula, which are both global in nature. In this note, we compute the limit of the Wang-Yau quasi-local mass on unit spheres at null infinity of an asymptotically flat spac…
