this was the last paper by the author, john waddell iii. in its original form, the paper was very long and was rejected for publication in apj. the author was very upset upon receiving the rejection letter from the editor, the famous "chandra", and stormed out with his car and got killed later in a car accident. chandra was sympathetic of this and asked the referees to edit and condense the paper to a publishable form, and the paper eventually got published.
