We consider perfect fluid bodies (stars) in general relativity, characterized by particle number density and entropy per particle. A star is said to be in dynamic equilibrium if it is a stationary, axisymmetric solution to the…

Local increases in the mean of a random field are detected (conservatively) by thresholding a field of test statistics at a level $u$ chosen to control the tail probability or $p$-value of its maximum. This $p$-value is approximated by the…
