... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Next: M.E. Bailey, Director Up: Research Previous: C.S. Jeffery, Research Astronomer Contents . Dr Michael Smith has focused mainly on the earliest stages of stellar evolution: the processes leading to star formation from an initially unstable, collapsing cloud of gas, and the energetic outflows -- jets and winds -- associated with the formation and early evolution of protostars and pre-main-sequence stellar objects. ... Spectacular jets of molecules, however, betray its presence. ...

Family ASTRO was initially developed to expand the ASP?s flagship program Project ASTRO?, which has partnered thousands of volunteer amateur and professional astronomers around the country with classroom teachers and students in their communities. ... Since then, we?ve trained not only many Project ASTRO partners, but also hundreds of other educators across the country to use our series of Leader Kits and Take-Home Activities to lead fun, hands-on Astronomy Events in their communities. ...

Using the data obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) legacy survey, we have studied the variations of the dust composition and abundance across the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). ... Using a model and comparing with a reference spectral energy distribution from our Galaxy, we deduce the relative abundance variations of small dust grains across the LMC. ...

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

Next: Supernova Explosions Up: No Title Previous: X-ray Luminosity Evolution . The origin of cosmic rays (CR) (especially of very high energies, >  eV) until now has been one of the unsolved problems in modern astrophysics. It is unclear as yet whether one universal mechanism of relativistic particle formation in our Galaxy operates or not, and if there are several different mechanisms, what is their relative contribution to CR formation. ... compact X-ray stars in binary systems. ...

The apparent path of the Sun across the sky. ... The path of the Sun across the celestial sphere is very close to that of the planets and the moon. ... In one year, as the Earth completes a full circuit around the Sun (drawing above), the Earth-Sun line and its continuation past Earth sweep the entire plane. ... Since the Sun and Earth are in the plane of the ecliptic, the line is automatically in that plane too; if the moon is also on the same line, it must be in the plane of the ecliptic as well. ...

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) . Hot stars burn brightly in this image from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, showing the ultraviolet side of a familiar face. At approximately 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is our Milky Way's largest galactic neighbor. ... The bands of blue-white making up the galaxy's striking rings are neighborhoods that harbor hot, young, massive stars. ... When observed in visible light, Andromeda s rings look more like spiral arms. ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...
