  2. List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravitationally...

    This is a list of most likely gravitationally rounded objects (GRO) of the Solar System, which are objects that have a rounded, ellipsoidal shape due to their own gravity (but are not necessarily in hydrostatic equilibrium).

  3. Gal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal_(unit)

    Gravity anomalies covering the Southern Ocean are shown here in false-color relief. Amplitudes range between −30 mGal (magenta) to +30 mGal (red). This image has been normalized to remove variation due to differences in latitude.

  4. Sunrise equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_equation

    In the equation given at the beginning, the cosine function on the left side gives results in the range [-1, 1], but the value of the expression on the right side is in the range [,].

  5. Color index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_index

    In astronomy, the color index is a simple numerical expression that determines the color of an object, which in the case of a star gives its temperature.The lower the color index, the more blue (or hotter) the object is.

  6. Vernier scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

    Vernier caliper with a vernier constant of 0.1 for clarity of operation. The standard for a caliper is usually a constant of 0.02 Vernier caliper scale with the normal 0.02 vernier constant, showing measurement of object at 19.44 mm to two decimal places

  7. Solar radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radius

    Solar radius is a unit of distance used to express the size of stars in astronomy relative to the Sun.The solar radius is usually defined as the radius to the layer in the Sun's photosphere where the optical depth equals 2/3: [1]

  8. Bessel function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_function

    Bessel functions describe the radial part of vibrations of a circular membrane.. Bessel functions, first defined by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and then generalized by Friedrich Bessel, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation + + = for an arbitrary complex number, which represents the order of the Bessel function.

  9. RKM code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKM_code

    For brevity, the notation omits to always specify the unit (ohm or farad) explicitly and instead relies on implicit knowledge raised from the usage of specific letters either only for resistors or for capacitors, [nb 1] the case used (uppercase letters are typically used for resistors, lowercase letters for capacitors), [nb 2] a part's appearance, and the context.
