Virginia Louise Trimble (born November 15, 1943) is an American astronomer specializing in the structure and evolution of stars and galaxies, and the history of astronomy. [2] She has published more than 600 works in Astrophysics, [ 3 ] and dozens of other works in the history of other sciences.
[2] [3] The discovery (by chance in 1965) of the cosmic background radiation suggests that the early universe was dominated by a radiation field, a field of extremely high temperature and pressure. [4] There is background radiation observed across all wavelength regimes, peaking in microwave, but also notable in infrared and X-ray regimes.
Hugh Norman Ross (born July 24, 1945) is a Canadian astrophysicist, Christian apologist, and old-Earth creationist.. Ross obtained his Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Toronto [1] [2] [3] and his B.Sc. degree in physics from the University of British Columbia. [4]
Astrophysics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of astrophysics published by Springer. Each volume is published every three months. It was founded in 1965 by the Soviet Armenian astrophysicist Viktor Ambartsumian. It is the English version of the journal Astrofizika, published by the Armenian National Academy of Sciences mostly in Russian.
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 ...
John R. Gribbin (born 19 March 1946) [1] is a British science writer, an astrophysicist, and a visiting fellow in astronomy at the University of Sussex. [2] His writings include quantum physics, human evolution, climate change, global warming, the origins of the universe, and biographies of famous scientists. He also writes science fiction.
The second dredge-up occurs in stars with 4–8 solar masses. When helium fusion comes to an end at the core, convection mixes the products of the CNO cycle. [2] This second dredge-up causes an increase in the surface abundance of 4 He and 14 N, whereas the amount of 12 C and 16 O decreases. [3] The third dredge-up
The B 2 FH paper [1] was a landmark scientific paper on the origin of the chemical elements. The paper's title is Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, but it became known as B 2 FH from the initials of its authors: Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, William A. Fowler, and Fred Hoyle.
