The Sun and the stars

The Sun's structure, its activity cycle and the nuclear fusion that powers it, then stellar spectra and classification, masses and sizes, and how distances to the stars are measured.

Fünf Karten aus diesem Stapel

Unverändert aus dem veröffentlichten Archiv entnommen. Eine Stapelseite ohne eine einzige Karte sagt nichts.

  • Vorderseite active region
    Rückseite an area on the Sun where magnetic fields are concentrated; sunspots, prominences, flares, and CMEs all tend to occur in active regions
  • Vorderseite apparent brightness
    Rückseite a measure of the amount of light received by Earth from a star or other object—that is, how bright an object appears in the sky, as contrasted with its luminosity
  • Vorderseite aurora
    Rückseite light radiated by atoms and ions in the ionosphere excited by charged particles from the Sun, mostly seen in the magnetic polar regions
  • Vorderseite binary stars
    Rückseite two stars that revolve about each other
  • Vorderseite brown dwarf
    Rückseite an object intermediate in size between a planet and a star; the approximate mass range is from about 1/100 of the mass of the Sun up to the lower mass limit for self-sustaining nuclear reactions, which is about 0.075 the mass of the Sun; brown dwarfs are capable of deuterium fusion, but not hydrogen fusion

Dieser Stapel wurde bei der Aufnahme verändert: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
