  2. Matter power spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_power_spectrum

    Where + is the linear growth factor in the density, that is to first order (,) = + (), and () is commonly referred to as the primordial matter power spectrum. Determining the primordial P 0 ( k ) {\displaystyle P_{0}(\mathbf {k} )} is a question that relates to the physics of inflation.

  4. 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 .

  5. S-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-factor

    In nuclear physics, the astrophysical S-factor S(E) is a rescaling of a nuclear reaction's total cross section σ(E) to account for the Coulomb repulsion between the charged reactants. It determines the rates of nuclear fusion reactions that occur in the cores of stars .

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Theoretical astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_astronomy

    Theoretical astronomers use a wide variety of tools which include analytical models (for example, polytropes to approximate the behaviors of a star) and computational numerical simulations. Each has some advantages. Analytical models of a process are generally better for giving insight into the heart of what is going on.

  9. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

    The scale factor is dimensionless, with counted from the birth of the universe and set to the present age of the universe: [4] giving the current value of as () or . The evolution of the scale factor is a dynamical question, determined by the equations of general relativity , which are presented in the case of a locally isotropic, locally ...
