Astronomy 112: The Physics of Stars Class 3 Notes: Hydrostatic
... This equation tells us how the shell accelerates in response to the forces applied to it. It is the shell’s equation of motion. B. The Dynamical Timescale Before going any further, let’s back up and ask a basic question: how much do we actually expect a shell of material within a star to be accelera ...

Handout - Notes - 4 - Electric Potential and Voltage
... Electric potential is a location-dependent quantity that expresses the amount of potential energy per unit of charge at a specified location. When a Coulomb of charge (or any given amount of charge) possesses a relatively large quantity of potential energy at a given location, then that location is ...

Even if we adopted an optimistic average value of tMT /tex p 0.1 for all Galactic GCs, the overall duty cycle DC p fXtMT /tex ! 10⫺3 would be compatible with the absence of any detection in the ∼100 Galactic GCs.
