Compact Cylindrical Green Function (CCGF)

Preface by Tohline

Cohl & Tohline (1999) present an expression for the Newtonian gravitational potential in terms of a Compact Cylindrical Green's Function expansion. Over a professional career that dates back to 1976, this has turned out to be one of my most oft-cited research publications and certainly has proven to be the publication with the most citations from research groups outside of the astrophysics community. A sample of citations from outside the field of astronomy is presented, below. Howard Cohl deserves full credit for the important discovery presented in this paper; I simply tagged along as his physics doctoral dissertation advisor and harshest skeptic.
