Low mass stars
... Mass is the most important physical characteristic of stars - it determines luminosity, temperature, lifetime etc. How do we obtain the mass of stars? – use binary star systems and Kepler’s 3rd Law (for visible binaries – for spectroscopic binaries the orbital inclination needs to be known). Eclipsi ...

Each program has its own method - sometimes several methods – of performing this, but the basic idea is to produce an initial list of approximate centroid positions for all stars that can be distinguished in the two dimensional data arr ...

... The time scale for the two clearings is very hard to estimate. When conditions are favorable they can go very fast. Huang has suggested(13) that the contraction into a disk can go on a time scale comparable with the orbital period of its particles around the parent star. If -as in our planetary syst ...

5 Understanding stars and star ClUsters
... This compression action on the gas and dust causes pools and eddies to form, which are known as nebulae, and among these swirling collections of gas, stars begin to form. Some nebulae can condense and create dozens, some even thousands, of stars. These stars are still bound together gravitationally ...
