The importance of radiative feedback for the stellar initial mass
The importance of radiative feedback for the stellar initial mass

Whereas star formation in the barotropic simulations continued unabated until the simulations stopped, we find that radiative feedback, even from low-mass stars, were essentially terminates the production of new objects within low-mass dense molecular cloud cores after roughly one local dynamical ti ...

Collisions with atomic hydrogen for the forbidden transitions were not taken into account, but we checked that the resulting uncertainty about the equivalent width of the lines, computed by the method of Takeda (1991), does no ...

As discussed in the Introduction, the presence of carbon not only produces the strong atomic and molecular absorption features shown in Figure 2, but it also contributes to increase the number of free electrons, and thus the He− free-free opacity. The resulting effect of carbon on the atmospheric st ...

... Supernovae are some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe and they have throughout history fascinated people as they appeared as new stars in the sky. Supernova (SN) 1987A exploded in the nearby satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), at a distance of only 168 000 light years. ...

In those cases, polarimetry has been shown to aid in the identification of bow waves through the determination of the polarization angle relative to the emission, which helps differentiate the origin of the IR excess emission as bow waves. However, AO assisted spectroscopy from large ground-b ...

Standard solar model

The standard solar model (SSM) is a mathematical treatment of the Sun as a spherical ball of gas (in varying states of ionisation, with the hydrogen in the deep interior being a completely ionised plasma). This model, technically the spherically symmetric quasi-static model of a star, has stellar structure described by several differential equations derived from basic physical principles. The model is constrained by boundary conditions, namely the luminosity, radius, age and composition of the Sun, which are well determined. The age of the Sun cannot be measured directly; one way to estimate it is from the age of the oldest meteorites, and models of the evolution of the Solar System. The composition in the photosphere of the modern-day Sun, by mass, is 74.9% hydrogen and 23.8% helium. All heavier elements, called metals in astronomy, account for less than 2 percent of the mass. The SSM is used to test the validity of stellar evolution theory. In fact, the only way to determine the two free parameters of the stellar evolution model, the helium abundance and the mixing length parameter (used to model convection in the Sun), are to adjust the SSM to ""fit"" the observed Sun.
