... An observer in the orbital plane has θ = π/2 and h× = 0. The observed frequency of gravitational waves is ν = Ω/π. The intensity of gravitational waves decreases as 1/r. Consider two 1.4 M⊙ neutron stars in a binary with separation of R⊙ observed from a distance of 1 kpc: P ≃ 7000 s, ν ≃ 2.9 · 10−4 ...

... as RRc in the GCVS (Kholopov et al. 1987) with a period of 0.28779276 d. Until 1977 it was included in photometric programmes of RRL stars (e.g., Bookmeyer et al. 1977). The star is declared as an RRL in the SIMBAD data base. These facts perhaps led Peña et al. (2012) to include the star in their p ...

Such stars have been discovered because they emit many more X-rays than do older, main-sequence, stars. Not only ...

Stellar kinematics
Stellar kinematics is the study of the movement of stars without needing to understand how they acquired their motion. This differs from stellar dynamics, which takes into account gravitational effects. The motion of a star relative to the Sun can provide useful information about the origin and age of a star, as well as the structure and evolution of the surrounding part of the Milky Way.In astronomy, it is widely accepted that most stars are born within molecular clouds known as stellar nurseries. The stars formed within such a cloud compose open clusters containing dozens to thousands of members. These clusters dissociate over time. Stars that separate themselves from the cluster's core are designated as members of the cluster's stellar association. If the remnant later drifts through the Milky Way as a coherent assemblage, then it is termed a moving group.
