  2. Red-giant branch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-giant_branch

    For stars with a degenerate helium core, there is a limit to this growth in size and luminosity, known as the tip of the red-giant branch, where the core reaches sufficient temperature to begin fusion. All stars that reach this point have an identical helium core mass of almost 0.5 M ☉, and very similar stellar luminosity and temperature ...

  3. Product key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_key

    The 25 characters of the Product Key form a base-24 encoding of the binary representation of the Product Key. The Product Key is a multi-precision integer of roughly 115 bits, which is stored in little endian byte order in an array of 15 bytes. Of these 15 bytes the least significant four bytes contain the Raw Product Key in little endian byte ...

  4. Stellar evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_evolution

    In the helium cores of stars in the 0.6 to 2.0 solar mass range, which are largely supported by electron degeneracy pressure, helium fusion will ignite on a timescale of days in a helium flash. In the nondegenerate cores of more massive stars, the ignition of helium fusion occurs relatively slowly with no flash. [ 14 ]

  5. Helium flash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_flash

    A helium flash is a very brief thermal runaway nuclear fusion of large quantities of helium into carbon through the triple-alpha process in the core of low-mass stars (between 0.8 solar masses (M ☉) and 2.0 M ☉ [1]) during their red giant phase. The Sun is predicted to experience a flash 1.2 billion years after it leaves the main sequence.

  6. Software bug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug

    The 2004 novel The Bug, by Ellen Ullman, is about a programmer's attempt to find an elusive bug in a database application. [41] The 2008 Canadian film Control Alt Delete is about a computer programmer at the end of 1999 struggling to fix bugs at his company related to the year 2000 problem.

  7. Helion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helion_(chemistry)

    The term helion is a portmanteau of helium and ion, and in practice refers specifically to the nucleus of the helium-3 isotope, consisting of two protons and one neutron. The nucleus of the other (and far more common) stable isotope of helium, helium-4 , consisting of two protons and two neutrons, is called an alpha particle or an alpha for short.

  9. Hypergolic propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergolic_propellant

    Hypergolically-fueled rocket engines are usually simple and reliable because they need no ignition system. Although larger hypergolic engines in some launch vehicles use turbopumps, most hypergolic engines are pressure-fed. A gas, usually helium, is fed to the propellant tanks under pressure through a series of check and safety valves.
