2000 yo 33 Dénes Gábor (1900–1979), a Hungarian-American physicist who won the 1971 Nobel Prize for Physics for his invention and development of the holographic method. He also carried out research on high-speed oscilloscopes, communication theory and physical optics, and he paid special attention to the impact of science on modern society.
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.
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 .
Analysis of historical records show that Romano's Star was likely quiescent from 1900 until five outbursts occurred between 1960 and 2010. The brightness is not constant during maximum but shows variations on a timescale of months. The third of the five outbursts was the brightest, peaking at magnitude 16.5. [2]
Distance measurements in astronomy have historically been and continue to be confounded by considerable measurement uncertainty. In particular, while stellar parallax can be used to measure the distance to nearby stars, the observational limits imposed by the difficulty in measuring the minuscule parallaxes associated with objects beyond our galaxy meant that astronomers had to look for ...
