Neutron stars are thought to have high rigidity in the crust, and thus a low Love number: ; [6] [7] isolated, nonrotating black holes in vacuum have vanishing Love numbers for all multipoles =. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Measuring the Love numbers of compact objects in binary mergers is a key goal of gravitational-wave astronomy .
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum.It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598.With the D 25 isophotal diameter of 18.74 kiloparsecs (61,100 light-years), the Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way.
In Ancient Indian astronomy, there are 27 nakshatras, or sectors along the ecliptic. A list of them is first found in the Vedanga Jyotisha, a text dated to the final centuries BCE [citation needed]. The Nakṣatra system predates the influence of Hellenistic astronomy on Vedic
Lambda Velorum (λ Velorum, abbreviated Lambda Vel, λ Vel), officially named Suhail / ˈ s uː h eɪ l /, [11] is a star in the southern constellation of Vela.With a mean apparent visual magnitude of 2.21, [2] this is the third-brightest star in the constellation and one of the brighter stars in the sky.
33 is the 21st composite number, and 8th distinct semiprime (third of the form where is a higher prime). [1] It is one of two numbers to have an aliquot sum of 15 = 3 × 5 — the other being the square of 4 — and part of the aliquot sequence of 9 = 3 2 in the aliquot tree (33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 2, 1).
A potential user of the system had a multitude of words to choose from for denoting the same number. The mapping from "words" to "numbers" is many-to-one. This has facilitated the embedding of numbers in verses in Indian treatises on mathematics and astronomy. This helped in memorising large tables of numbers required by astronomers and ...
It is 7.2 by 4.2 arcminutes, meaning that its surface brightness, magnitude 13.6, is significantly lower than its integrated magnitude. NGC 772 is a class SA(s)b galaxy , which means that it is an unbarred spiral galaxy without a ring that possesses a somewhat prominent bulge and spiral arms that are wound somewhat tightly. [ 3 ]
33 Piscium is a binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Pisces. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.61. [ 2 ] The distance to this system, as determined from an annual parallax shift of 25.32 ± 0.53 mas , [ 1 ] is about 129 light years .
