  2. Sandy Stap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Stap

    Stap grew up in Deerfield, Illinois, and was coached by her father, Jake, an ex-baseball player who invented the tennis ball hopper. Her elder sister, Sue Stap , also played professional tennis . An Orange Bowl (16s) winner in 1970, Stap spent the next decade on tour and also played varsity tennis for Trinity University , where she was a three ...

  3. Pebble-bed reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble-bed_reactor

    A pebble-bed power plant combines a gas-cooled core [5] and a novel fuel packaging. [6]The uranium, thorium or plutonium nuclear fuels are in the form of a ceramic (usually oxides or carbides) contained within spherical pebbles a little smaller than the size of a tennis ball and made of pyrolytic graphite, which acts as the primary neutron moderator.

  4. Hoag's Object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoag's_Object

    Noah Brosch suggested that Hoag's Object might be a product of an extreme "bar instability" that occurred a few billion years ago in a barred spiral galaxy. [16] Schweizer et al [ 14 ] claim this is an unlikely hypothesis because the nucleus of the object is spheroidal , whereas the nucleus of a barred spiral galaxy is disc-shaped, among other ...

    SGR 1806−20 is a magnetar, a type of neutron star with a very powerful magnetic field, that was discovered in 1979 and identified as a soft gamma repeater.SGR 1806−20 is located about 13 kiloparsecs (42,000 light-years) [1] from Earth on the far side of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sagittarius.

  7. Nuclear pasta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pasta

    For a typical neutron star of 1.4 solar masses (M ☉) and 12 km radius, the nuclear pasta layer in the crust can be about 100 m thick and have a mass of about 0.01 M ☉. In terms of mass, this is a significant portion of the crust of a neutron star. [9] [10]

  8. High Flux Isotope Reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Flux_Isotope_Reactor

    The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) is a nuclear research reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States.Operating at 85 MW, HFIR is one of the highest flux reactor-based sources of neutrons for condensed matter physics research in the United States, and it has one of the highest steady-state neutron fluxes of any research reactor in the world.

  9. Discovery of the neutron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_the_neutron

    A schematic of the nucleus of an atom indicating β − radiation, the emission of a fast electron from the nucleus (the accompanying antineutrino is omitted). In the Rutherford model for the nucleus, a red sphere was a proton with positive charge, and a blue sphere was a proton tightly bound to an electron, with no net charge.
