SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a mathematical expression from an article regarding peculiar acceleration, specifically addressing the transition of ##r_s^2## from the denominator in Equation 10 to the numerator in Equation 11. The confusion arises from a typographical error where ##G## is incorrectly represented, necessitating a correction to -2 in the exponent. This clarification is essential for accurately interpreting the equations presented in the referenced papers.

I was reading an article and I saw this expression,

I don't understand how the ##r_s^2## in the denominator (in Eq.##10##), becomes the numerator in the Eq.##11## ?

Article is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/0708.1132

You can work out what's happened by comparing terms. ##G## in equation (10) has been replaced by some largely numerical expression times ##r_s^4##.
