Abstract: A method for deriving the asymptotic behaviour of any physical field is presented. This leads to a geometrically meaningful derivation of the peeling properties for arbitrary values of the cosmological constant. Application to the outstanding case of the physical Weyl tensor provides the explicit form of all terms that determine its asymptotic behaviour along arbitrary lightlike geodesics. The results follow under the assumption of a conformal completion `a la Penrose. The only freedom available is the choice of a null vector at the conformal boundary of the space-time (which determines the lightlike geodesic arriving there).
