... Table data are arranged in columns and rows, and stored in MIDAS files with the extension .tbl . ... An item in a table is accessed by giving its column and row in addition to the table name. The row number can either be given as an absolute value (i.e. the sequence number) or indicated by the value in a previously defined reference column. ... A table can be always expanded in the sense that its number of columns and rows is automatically increased when the allocated space is exceeded. ...

... 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. ...

... Previous: Access to Atomic and Molecular Data/Databases in the VO . ... We present the general characteristics of a database for binary and multiple stars from all observational categories, specifically designed to address the awkward topics of the identification of stellar components. BDB is based on a modular architecture to allow the easy integration of data from various sources. We describe in particular the set up of connections with other double star databases through the Internet. ...

... AstroAsciiData is a Python module to handle ASCII tables. ... The idea to develop this Python module emerged from the fact that ASCII tables continue to be one of the most popular and widely used data exchange formats in astronomy and probably science in general. ... To load this ASCII table, go into Python, load the AstroAsciiData module and read in the table with: .
