  2. Kugelblitz (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)

    It is a concentration of heat, light or radiation so intense that its energy forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped. In other words, if enough radiation is aimed into a region of space, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime so much that it creates a black hole.

  3. Astronomical spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_spectroscopy

    The Star-Spectroscope of the Lick Observatory in 1898. Designed by James Keeler and constructed by John Brashear.. Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, infrared and radio waves that radiate from stars and other celestial objects.

  5. High-energy astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-energy_astronomy

    High-energy astronomy is the study of astronomical objects that release electromagnetic radiation of highly energetic wavelengths. It includes X-ray astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, extreme UV astronomy, neutrino astronomy, and studies of cosmic rays. The physical study of these phenomena is referred to as high-energy astrophysics. [1]

  6. Computational astrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_astrophysics

    Computational astrophysics refers to the methods and computing tools developed and used in astrophysics research. Like computational chemistry or computational physics , it is both a specific branch of theoretical astrophysics and an interdisciplinary field relying on computer science , mathematics , and wider physics .

  7. Astropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astropy

    Astropy is a collection of software packages written in the Python programming language and designed for use in astronomy. [2] The software is a single, free, core package for astronomical utilities due to the increasingly widespread usage of Python by astronomers, and to foster interoperability between various extant Python astronomy packages. [3]

  8. Astrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysics

    Astrophysics is a science that employs the methods and principles of physics and chemistry in the study of astronomical objects and phenomena. [1] [2] As one of the founders of the discipline, James Keeler, said, astrophysics "seeks to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space—what they are, rather than where they are", [3] which is studied ...

  9. Pulsar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar

    This produces a very precise interval between pulses that ranges from milliseconds to seconds for an individual pulsar. Pulsars are one of the candidates for the source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. (See also centrifugal mechanism of acceleration.) Pulsars’ highly regular pulses make them very useful tools for astronomers.
