The layers of the Earth, a differentiated planetary body. In planetary science, planetary differentiation is the process by which the chemical elements of a planetary body accumulate in different areas of that body, due to their physical or chemical behavior (e.g. density and chemical affinities).
The diagram depicts two astrophysical quantities of stars, their iron abundance relative to hydrogen [Fe/H] - a tracer of stellar metallicity - and the enrichment of alpha process elements relative to iron, [α/Fe]. The iron abundance is noted as the logarithm of the ratio of a star's iron abundance compared to that of the Sun:
Infographic showing the theorized origin of the chemical elements that make up the human body. Astrochemistry is the study of the abundance and reactions of molecules in the universe, and their interaction with radiation. [1] The discipline is an overlap of astronomy and chemistry.
The Cambridge Guide to Astronomical Discovery states that Practical Astronomy with your Calculator is a "must"-have book if one has no personal computer for astronomical calculations. [4] New Scientist magazine gave a favourable review of the book, although stating that there were small errors in some calculations. [5]
The two dots on top of the x position vectors denote their second derivative with respect to time, or their acceleration vectors. Adding and subtracting these two equations decouples them into two one-body problems, which can be solved independently. Adding equations (1) and results in an equation describing the center of mass motion.

This combination greatly simplifies the equations of general relativity into a form called the Friedmann equations. These equations specify the evolution of the scale factor the universe in terms of the pressure and density of a perfect fluid. The evolving density is composed of different kinds of energy and matter, each with its own role in ...
In forming the stellar structure equations (exploiting the assumed spherical symmetry), one considers the matter density (), temperature (), total pressure (matter plus radiation) (), luminosity (), and energy generation rate per unit mass () in a spherical shell of a thickness at a distance from the center of the star.
