Cinq cartes de ce paquet

Extraites de l’archive publiée, sans retouche. Une fiche de paquet qui ne montre aucune carte ne dit rien.

  • Recto association
    Verso a loose group of young stars whose spectral types, motions, and positions in the sky indicate a common origin
  • Recto baryon cycle
    Verso the cycling of mass in and out of the interstellar medium, including accretion of gas from intergalactic space, loss of gas back into intergalactic space, and conversion of interstellar gas into stars
  • Recto Chandrasekhar limit
    Verso the upper limit to the mass of a white dwarf (equals 1.4 times the mass of the Sun)
  • Recto cosmic rays
    Verso atomic nuclei (mostly protons) and electrons that are observed to strike Earth’s atmosphere with exceedingly high energies.
  • Recto degenerate gas
    Verso a gas that resists further compression because no two electrons can be in the same place at the same time doing the same thing (Pauli exclusion principle)

Ce paquet a été modifié lors de son intégration : Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 20, 21, 22, 23 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.
