Redshift-Space Enhancement of Line-of-Sight Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the SDSS Main-Galaxy Sample

H. J. Tian, Mark C. Neyrinck, Tamás Budavári +1

We show that redshift-space distortions of galaxy correlations have a strong effect on correlation functions with distinct, localized features, like the signature of the baryon aco…

An investigation of magnetic field distortions in accretion discs around neutron stars - II. Analysis of the toroidal field component

L. Naso, J. C. Miller

Millisecond pulsars are believed to be old pulsars spun up by a surrounding accretion disc. Magnetic fields are thought to play a leading role in this, both by determining the loca…
