The Hot-plate Model of a Star Model of Stars— 29 Sep •
... The luminosity of a star (the energy produced every second) depends on temperature and size. What can I do to make the same hot-plate at the same setting burn my hand and not burn my hand? (Without modifying the sun, what can I do to make the sun brighter or ...

The gravitational forces are much too small to hold the nucleons together compared to the electrostatic forces repelling ...

... Interviewer: How did the white dwarf get its name? Scientist: They got their name because of the white color of the first few white dwarfs discovered. Interviewer: How are white dwarfs characterized? Scientist: They are characterized by a low luminosity, a mass close to that of our sun,and radius o ...

... electromagnetic energy (gamma ray) traveling through matter. This is one of the principal ways in which high energy gamma rays are absorbed in matter. For the pair production to occur the photon energy must be at least equivalent to the mass of two electrons, i.e. 1.02 MeV because the mass of a sing ...

Why is the darkness of the night sky evidence for the Big Bang?
... Neutrinos are an example of a particle that interacts with matter through the weak nuclear force. There are so many neutrinos in the universe, however, that even a small mass would be important for dark matter; a mass of 92 eV, one five-thousandth the mass of the electron, would close the universe! ...

P-nuclei
p-Nuclei (p stands for proton-rich) are certain proton-rich, naturally occurring isotopes of some elements between selenium and mercury which cannot be produced in either s- or r-process.
