We have now received the referee's report on your submission to The Research in
Astronomy and Astrophysics listed above. Unfortunately the report is negative.
As evidenced by that, the analysis presented in the paper appears to be
affected by problems and inconsistencies, such that it is far from matching the
RAA standard. Unless there is some
basic misunderstanding in the referee's assessment of your work, I suggest that
you withdraw your manuscript.
Should you resubmit the manuscript, please include a detailed cover letter
containing the (mandatory) listing of the changes you've made to the text and
your responses to the report. You can find the (edited) referee's report and
submit your revised version on our web
peer-review system locate at http://raa.raa-journal.org.
The
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics has adopted a policy that manuscript
files become inactive, and are considered to have been withdrawn, six months
