... 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. ...

The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

Next: About this document Up: Improved Prescription Retrieval and Previous: Prescription Retrieval . ... We have a small amount of funding from ST ScI to provide a HST-specific point spread function generation code. ... It will be available as a stand-alone application, generating PSFs in an interactive session. These can be exported as FITS or binary format files for use in restoration. ... The code will also be available as a FORTRAN subroutine that can be called directly by a user code. ...
