There are two classes of radio halos: mini-halos and giant radio halos. The linear size of giant radio halos is about 700kpc-1Mpc, whereas mini-halos are typically less than 500kpc. Giant ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2404037 |

Monopole (mathematics) In mathematics, a monopole is a connection over a principal bundle "G" with a section of the associated adjoint bundle. Physically, the section can be interpreted as a "Higgs field", where the connection and Higgs field should satisfy the Bogomolny equations and be of finite action. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2415128 |
