Context. The Galactic magnetic field (GMF) has a huge impact on the evolution of the Milky Way. Yet currently there exists no standard model for it, as its structure is not fully understood. In the past many parametric GMF models of varying…

The observable spacetime can be viewed as worldline coincidences (events) between a particle system and the observers of an extended (material) reference frame (ERF). Particle positions are then operationally well defined with respect to…
