  2. Star schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema

    In computing, the star schema or star model is the simplest style of data mart schema and is the approach most widely used to develop data warehouses and dimensional data marts. [1] The star schema consists of one or more fact tables referencing any number of dimension tables .

  3. Hertzsprung–Russell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung–Russell_diagram

    This type of diagram could be called temperature-luminosity diagram, but this term is hardly ever used; when the distinction is made, this form is called the theoretical Hertzsprung–Russell diagram instead. A peculiar characteristic of this form of the H–R diagram is that the temperatures are plotted from high temperature to low temperature ...

  4. Star system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_system

    A multiple star system consists of two or more stars that appear from Earth to be close to one another in the sky. [dubious – discuss] This may result from the stars actually being physically close and gravitationally bound to each other, in which case it is a physical multiple star, or this closeness may be merely apparent, in which case it is an optical multiple star [a] Physical multiple ...

  5. Topological data analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_data_analysis

    Real data is always finite, and so its study requires us to take stochasticity into account. Statistical analysis gives us the ability to separate true features of the data from artifacts introduced by random noise. Persistent homology has no inherent mechanism to distinguish between low-probability features and high-probability features.

  6. Binary star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star

    The well-known binary star Sirius, seen here in a Hubble photograph from 2005, with Sirius A in the center, and white dwarf, Sirius B, to the left bottom from it. A binary star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other.

  7. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    A simple argument can be based on consideration of net effects. To create the magnetic field, the net electric current must wrap around the axis of rotation of the planet. In that case, for the term to be positive, the net flow of conducting matter must be towards the axis of rotation. The diagram only shows a net flow from the poles to the ...

  8. Rudolphine Tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolphine_Tables

    The Rudolphine Tables (Latin: Tabulae Rudolphinae) consist of a star catalogue and planetary tables published by Johannes Kepler in 1627, using observational data collected by Tycho Brahe (1546–1601). The tables are named in memory of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, in whose employ Brahe and Kepler had begun work on the tables.

  9. RR Lyrae variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RR_Lyrae_variable

    The RR Lyrae variable stars fall in a particular area on a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram of color versus brightness. RR Lyrae variables are periodic variable stars, commonly found in globular clusters. They are used as standard candles to measure (extra) galactic distances, assisting with the cosmic distance ladder.
