Hankel inversion of a rotation-measure correlation
ID: hankel-inversion-of-a-rotation-measure-correlation
Invert the two-dimensional Fourier transform in the long-path projection of a magnetic correlation, then perform the angular integration in polar coordinates. The angular integral is , a Bessel function of the first kind, giving the displayed Hankel transform with the stated Fourier-Hankel normalization for an isotropic spectrum. The result recovers the scalar tensor coefficient , whose shell-integrated magnetic energy spectrum has an additional factor .
