  2. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

    In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size.

    Property Number or measurement Distance from Satyaloka to Vishnuloka (Brahmaloka-sanatana, abode of Brahma): 26,200,000 yojanas (209,600,000 miles) [2] [3]: Distance from Dhruvaloka (the pole star) to the Sun

  4. Great Wall of Gorgan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_Gorgan

    Sometimes one brick was set in the vertical position, with two horizontal rows of bricks laid above and below. The sizes of mud or fired bricks differ, but in general the standard size was 40 × 40 × 10 cm. [ 1 ] The fired bricks were made from the local loess soil, and fired in kilns along the line of the wall.

  5. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    The base determines the fractions that can be represented; for instance, 1/5 cannot be represented exactly as a floating-point number using a binary base, but 1/5 can be represented exactly using a decimal base (0.2, or 2 × 10 −1).

  6. Red-giant branch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-giant_branch

    Intermediate-mass stars only lose a small fraction of their mass as main-sequence and subgiant stars, but lose a significant amount of mass as red giants. [ 25 ] The mass lost by a star similar to the Sun affects the temperature and luminosity of the star when it reaches the horizontal branch, so the properties of red-clump stars can be used to ...

  7. Pea galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pea_galaxy

    The Pea galaxies, also known as Green Peas (GPs), are compact oxygen-rich emission line galaxies that were discovered at redshift between z = 0.112 and 0.360. [1] These low-mass galaxies have an upper size limit generally no bigger than 16,300 light-years (5,000 pc) across, and typically they reside in environments less than two-thirds the density of normal galaxy environments. [1]

  8. Seyfert galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seyfert_galaxy

    The Circinus Galaxy, a Type II Seyfert galaxy. Seyfert galaxies are one of the two largest groups of active galaxies, along with quasar host galaxies. They have quasar-like nuclei (very luminous sources of electromagnetic radiation that are outside of our own galaxy) with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, [1] but unlike quasars, their ...
