    The STAR technique is similar to the SOARA technique (Situation, Objective, Action, Result, Aftermath). The STAR technique is also often complemented with an additional R on the end STARR or STAR(R) with the last R resembling reflection. This R aims to gather insight and interviewee's ability to learn and iterate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_acting

    Marlon Brando's performance in Elia Kazan's film of A Streetcar Named Desire exemplifies the power of Stanislavski-based acting in cinema. [1]Method acting, known as the Method, is a range of rehearsal techniques, as formulated by a number of different theatre practitioners, that seeks to encourage sincere and expressive performances through identifying with, understanding, and experiencing a ...

  4. Point spread function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function

    The point spread function (PSF) describes the response of a focused optical imaging system to a point source or point object. A more general term for the PSF is the system's impulse response; the PSF is the impulse response or impulse response function (IRF) of a focused optical imaging system. The PSF in many contexts can be thought of as the ...

    Light green boxes: Technique applicable to star-forming galaxies. Light blue boxes: Technique applicable to population II galaxies. Light Purple boxes: Geometric distance technique. Light Red box: The planetary nebula luminosity function technique is applicable to all populations of the Virgo Supercluster. Solid black lines: Well calibrated ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_spectroscopy

    The graph to the right illustrates the sine curve using Doppler spectroscopy to observe the radial velocity of an imaginary star which is being orbited by a planet in a circular orbit. Observations of a real star would produce a similar graph, although eccentricity in the orbit will distort the curve and complicate the calculations below.

  7. Methods of detecting exoplanets - Wikipedia

    The most popular technique is Angular Differential Imaging (ADI), where exposures are acquired at different parallactic angle positions and the sky is left to rotate around the observed central star. The exposures are averaged, each exposure undergoes subtraction by the average, and then they are (de-)rotated to stack the faint planetary signal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_microlensing

    Finite source size. In extremely bright or quickly-changing microlensing events, like caustic-crossing events, the source star cannot be treated as an infinitesimally small point of light: the size of the star's disk and even limb darkening can modify extreme features. Parallax. For events lasting for months, the motion of the Earth around the ...

  9. Light curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_curve

    when either the occulting or occulted body are double, e.g. a double star or double asteroid, then a step light curve is observed. when the occulted body is large, e.g. a star like Antares, then the transitions are gradual. when the occulting body has an atmosphere, e.g. the moon Titan [8]
