Radial Stellar Pulsations
... produced by nuclear reactions. In equilibrium, heat production in the core is exactly balanced by heat loss from the surface, i.e., by the stellar luminosity. Stellar pulsation disturbs this balance by (i) modulating the nuclear reaction rate in the core (epsilon mechanism); and more importantly, (i ...

24.1 Hubble`s Galaxy Classification
... In hindsight this makes sense, since faster rotation means more galaxy mass, means (on average) a more luminous galaxy. In the example below the Galaxy is spatially resolved, but you could get this from the width of a spectral line if you couldn’t resolve the galaxy. This galaxy is NGC 4603, about 3 ...
