Introduction to nuclear astrophysics
In the first lecture of this volume, we will present the basic fundamental ideas regarding nuclear processes occurring in stars. We start from stellar observations, will then elaborate on some important quantum-mechanical phenomena governing nuclear ...

Martian marvels, a gamma-ray burster with a redshift, Galileo converses with Ganymede, a record galactic redshift of 4.92, and much else. Fiscal 1997 was definitely an exciting year for astronomers. We have tried hard to hit all the obvious highlights, but also to report more gradual progress on traditional problems of understanding planets, stars ...

Herein, electrocatalytic activity enhancement is reported of NiCoP nanorods by applying an external magnetic field. The NiCoP nanorods exhibit an overpotential of 100 mV at 10 mA cm−2 without magnetic field. However, under low magnetic field of 2000 G, the overpotential reduces to 62 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in 0.5 M H2SO4, demonstrating that external magnetic

Problems in Astrophysics [PDF]
THE triple alliance of astronomy, physics and chemistry has extended the boundaries of each in unexpected directions. Astronomy is no longer a dependency of mathematics, but an independent power having a high place in the hierarchy of the physical sciences; instruments of research in physics have been turned from earth to sky, and chemistry now looks ...

From Alpha (Orionis and the parameter in mixing-length theory) to Omega (Centauri and the density of the universe), the Greeks had a letter for it. In between, we look at the Sun and planets, some very distant galaxies and nearby stars, neutrinos, gamma rays, and some of the anomalies that arise in a very large universe being studied by roughly one ...

The transformation of CO2 into chemical building blocks is essential for a net‐zero energy future. Plasma‐chemical processing offers promising potential to achieve this. Here, we explore a temperature‐dependent plasma‐chemical reaction mechanism, revealing a shift from electron‐driven to thermal‐driven CO2 conversion regimes.

Nuclear astrophysics studies with ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions
I describe in very simple terms the theoretical tools needed to investigate ultra-peripheral nuclear reactions for nuclear astrophysics purposes. For a more detailed account, see arXiv:0908.4307.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, Lecture notes presented at ...

Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND): Observational Phenomenology and Relativistic Extensions
A wealth of astronomical data indicate the presence of mass discrepancies in the Universe. The motions observed in a variety of classes of extragalactic systems exceed what can be explained by the mass visible in stars and gas. Either (i) there is a vast

Short Wavelength Limit of the Dynamic Matsubara Local Field Correction
ABSTRACT We investigate the short wavelength limit of the dynamic Matsubara local field correction G˜q,zl$$ \tilde{G}\left(\mathbf{q},{z}_l\right) $$ of the uniform electron gas based on direct ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results over an unprecedented range of wavenumbers, q≲20qF$$ q\lesssim 20{q}_{\mathrm{F}} $$, where qF$$ {q}_{\mathrm{
