In prices's theorem, the power law damping of the radiative tail can take the asymptotic form of-
\delta m(v_1) \sim hv_1^{\ -p}
where \delta m is the mass-energy of the radiation flux, v_1 is the null coordinate and p determines the decay rate of the radiation (≥11 for gravitational radiation).
h is simply described as an 'arbitary constant', another paper suggests it might be '..a constant that depends on the geodesic’s constants of motion..'. Any suggestions as to what it might be?
