The Large Scale Structure Peak as a Comoving Standard Ruler Boudewijn F. Roukema et al. ... Just as supernovae of Type Ia appear to provide a good empirical standard candle, it now appears observationally justi ed to use the peak in the power spectrum of density per- turbations at L  130  10h 1 Mpc as an empirical standard ruler. ... Combination with the supernovae Ia data is suфcient to show that the observable Universe is almost at. ...

... The parameter y   characterizes the ratio between the gravitational and magnetic ``properties'' of a star and will, therefore, be called the gravimagnetic parameter . Two magnetic rotators having quite different magnetic fields, subjected to different external conditions but with identical gravimagnetic parameters, have similar magnetospheres, as long as the accretion rate is quite low ( ). ... For isolated rotators, the accretion rate  yr is assumed. ...
