  2. Octagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagram

    The regular octagonal star is very popular as a symbol of rowing clubs in the Cologne Lowland, as seen on the club flag of the Cologne Rowing Association. The geometry can be adjusted so 3 edges cross at a single point, like the Auseklis symbol An 8-point compass rose can be seen as an octagonal star, with 4 primary points, and 4 secondary points.

  3. Hendecagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendecagram

    The star in this scroll is not one of the regular forms of the hendecagram, but instead uses lines that connect the vertices of a hendecagon to nearly-opposite midpoints of the hendecagon's edges. [ 8 ] 11-pointed star Girih patterns are also used on the exterior of the Momine Khatun Mausoleum ; Eric Broug writes that its pattern "can be ...

  4. Diffraction spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

    Effect of a triangular star filter. A cross screen filter, also known as a star filter, creates a star pattern using a very fine diffraction grating embedded in the filter, or sometimes by the use of prisms in the filter. The number of stars varies by the construction of the filter, as does the number of points each star has.

  5. Astrometric solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrometric_solving

    Solving an image is finding match between the imaged stars and a star catalogue. The solution is a math model describing the corresponding astronomical position of each image pixel. [1] The position of reference catalogue stars has to be known to a high accuracy so an astrometric reference catalogue is used such as the Gaia catalogue. The image ...

    The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures [1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures.

  7. Period-luminosity relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period-luminosity_relation

    In astronomy, a period-luminosity relation is a relationship linking the luminosity of pulsating variable stars with their pulsation period. The best-known relation is the direct proportionality law holding for Classical Cepheid variables, sometimes called the Leavitt Law.

  8. Stellar structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_structure

    In massive stars (greater than about 1.5 M ☉), the core temperature is above about 1.8×10 7 K, so hydrogen-to-helium fusion occurs primarily via the CNO cycle. In the CNO cycle, the energy generation rate scales as the temperature to the 15th power, whereas the rate scales as the temperature to the 4th power in the proton-proton chains. [ 2 ]

    The Kleene star expression s * is converted to An ε-transition connects initial and final state of the NFA with the sub-NFA N ( s ) in between. Another ε-transition from the inner final to the inner initial state of N ( s ) allows for repetition of expression s according to the star operator.
