  2. Atomic and molecular astrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_and_molecular...

    Atomic astrophysics is concerned with performing atomic physics calculations that will be useful to astronomers and using atomic data to interpret astronomical observations. Atomic physics plays a key role in astrophysics as astronomers' only information about a particular object comes through the light that it emits, and this light arises ...

  3. List of interstellar and circumstellar molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interstellar_and...

    The following tables list molecules that have been detected in the interstellar medium or circumstellar matter, grouped by the number of component atoms. Neutral molecules and their molecular ions are listed in separate columns; if there is no entry in the molecule column, only the ionized form has been detected. Designations (names of ...

  4. Astrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrochemistry

    Astrochemistry overlaps with astrophysics and nuclear physics in characterizing the nuclear reactions which occur in stars, as well as the structure of stellar interiors. If a star develops a largely convective envelope, dredge-up events can occur, bringing the products of nuclear burning to the surface.

  5. Molecules in stars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecules_in_stars

    The molecules in stars can be used to determine some characteristics of the star. The isotopic composition can be determined if the lines in the molecular spectrum are observed. The different masses of different isotopes cause vibration and rotation frequencies to significantly vary.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Astrophysics

    Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature, chemical composition) of astronomical objects such as stars, galaxies, and the interstellar medium, as well as their interactions.

  8. X-factor (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-factor_(astrophysics)

    The X-factor in astrophysics, often labeled X CO, is an empirically determined proportionality constant which converts carbon monoxide (CO) emission line brightness to molecular hydrogen (H 2) mass. The term X-factor was coined in a 1983 paper titled "Gamma-rays from atomic and molecular gas in the first galactic quadrant" and published in The ...
