Journal Descriptions

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society is one of the world's leading primary research journals in astronomy and astrophysics, as well as one of the longest established. It publishes the results of original research in positional and dynamical astronomy, astrophysics, radio astronomy, cosmology, space research and the design of astronomical instruments. The journal is fully open access (as of 01 January 2024) and online only. It is listed in the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), which indexes and promotes quality, peer-reviewed open access journals from around the world, upholding the reputation for advocating best practices and standards in open access journals. With MNRAS indexed in DOAJ, we showcase our respectability and prominence. A publication of the prestigious Royal Astronomical Society, the journal has a well-earned reputation of publishing high quality research which supports the Society’s mission. Funds raised by publishing in the journal directly support the RAS’ charitable endeavors to support and connect astronomers and geophysicists, in the UK and globally, throughout their careers.

Low-mass (M500 < 5 × 1014 M) galaxy clusters have been largely unexplored in radio observations, because of the inadequate sensitivity of existing telescopes. However, the upgraded Giant M...
We present high spatial resolution observations of short -lived transients, ribbon and jets like events above a pore in Ca II H images where fine structure like umbral dots, light bridge and...
Introducing the axial magnetic field (B), velocity ( ), and velocity gradient (dv/dx) retrieved from inversions of Stokes profiles, the role of azimuthal component of the magnetic field in t...
Peter B Jones January, 2020
A number of previous papers have developed an ion-proton theory of the pulsar polar cap. The basic equations summarizing this are given here with the results of sets of model step-to-step ca...
Peter B Jones November, 2018
It is shown that the ion–proton magnetosphere is unstable in a limited area of the P–P˙ plane against transitions to a self-sustaining inverse Compton scattering mode in which the part...
Peter B Jones November, 2018
Salient features of the remarkable band structure seen in the high-frequency interpulse of the Crab pulsar are summarized. It is argued that its source must lie in a current sheet, probably ...
Peter B Jones July, 2017
It is shown that the time variability inherent in the ion–proton polar cap leads naturally to the growth of Langmuir modes on narrow bundles of magnetic flux lines and that the observed si...
Peter B Jones February, 2017
There is good evidence that electron–positron pair formation is not present in that section of the pulsar open magnetosphere, which is the source of coherent radio emission, but the possib...
Peter B Jones July, 2016
Evidence derived with minimal assumptions from existing published observations is presented to show that an ion–proton plasma is the source of radio-frequency emission in millisecond and i...

The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager is a pair of interferometer arrays operating with six frequency channels spanning 13.9–18.2 GHz, for observations on angular scales of 30 arcsec–10 arcmi...
