  2. Luminosity function (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity_function...

    Historically, the Schechter luminosity function was inspired by the Press–Schechter model. [ 8 ] However, the connection between the two is not straight forward. If one assumes that every dark matter halo hosts one galaxy, then the Press-Schechter model yields a slope α ∼ − 3.5 {\displaystyle \alpha \sim -3.5} for galaxies instead of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press–Schechter_formalism

    The Press–Schechter formalism predicts that the number of objects with mass between and + is: = (+) ¯ (+) / ⁡ (() (+) /). where is the index of the power spectrum of the fluctuations in the early universe (), ¯ is the mean (baryonic and dark) matter density of the universe at the time the fluctuation from which the object was formed had gravitationally collapsed, and is a cut-off mass ...

    Taylor-Schechter 12.182. The siglum Taylor-Schechter 12.182 (T-S 12.182; also referenced as TM nr. 62326; LDAB id: 3490; Rahlfs 2005) designates a manuscript written on parchment in codex form. [1] This is a palimpsest of a copy of Origen's work called the Hexapla. The manuscript is dated to 7th-century AD, [2] and is the oldest of the hexapla ...

    Illustration of Pioneer 6, 7, 8, and 9. The first satellites designed for long term observation of the Sun from interplanetary space were NASA's Pioneers 6, 7, 8 and 9, which were launched between 1959 and 1968. These probes orbited the Sun at a distance similar to that of Earth, and made the first detailed measurements of the solar wind and ...

  7. List of Solar System objects by greatest aphelion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System...

    An object with an e of between 0 and 1 will have an elliptical orbit, with, for instance, an object with an e of 0.5 having a perihelion twice as close to the Sun as its aphelion. As an object's e approaches 1, its orbit will be more and more elongated before, and at e =1, the object's orbit will be parabolic and unbound to the Solar System (i ...
