The twistor encoding of the anti-self-dual Lienard--Wiechert field on Minkowski space-time yields a considerably richer structure than that of the Coulomb field encoding due to the presence of a nonzero radiation field. The combination of advanced and retarded transverse fields together with the longitudinal field and the individual aspects of these fields provides this structure. Higher-order longitudinal moments can be incorporated so that general longitudinal fields can be given a twistor description.
