... The best way to explain how nuclear reactions generate energy is to note that a helium atom has less mass than the 4 hydrogen atoms that were fused to make it. Einstein’s famous equation, E = m c2, says that mass can be converted into energy (or energy into mass) and to calculate the energy generate ...

13 The Family of Stars
... The binary separation a cannot be measured directly because the stars are too close to each other. However, in spectroscopic binaries, the stars show Doppler shifts from the radial velocities of the two stars. By measuring these Doppler shifts we can determine a limit on the separation and thus the ...
