Sentences with phrase «of ionised gas»

These accelerators work by shooting pulses of intense laser light into plasma to create a wave rippling through the cloud of ionised gas, leaving a wake of electrons akin to those that form behind a speedboat in water.

The Lancaster team used the Subaru and Keck telescopes on Hawaii, and the Very Large Telescope in Chile to discover several galaxies which seem to have large bubbles of ionised gas around them, allowing light to pass through.

The region of sky pictured is listed in the Sharpless catalogue of H II regions: interstellar clouds of ionised gas, rife with star formation.

The surrounding cloud of ionised gas is producing more microwaves than clouds around other star clusters in our galaxy.

Not exact matches

The light's wavelength can also change noticeably when photons are scattered off ionised gas moving through space, providing a way to probe the velocity of such gas.

This would create a layer of plasma from ionised gas, which would generate a thermonuclear shock wave that ripples through the fuel, promoting compression (Energy & Environmental Science, DOI: 10.1039 / b904609g).

The team analysed the effect of this energetic radiation on the pillars: a process known as photoevaporation, when gas is ionised and then disperses away.

H II regions like RCW 106 are clouds of hydrogen gas that are being ionised by the intense starlight of scorching - hot, young stars, causing them to glow and display weird and wonderful shapes.

Ionised clouds of gas have been found close enough to home to keep the galaxy ablaze.

But Hayabusa has been hobbling home without the full use of its four ion engines, which ionise xenon gas and then use electric fields to accelerate the ions, providing a steady — though weak — thrust.

Clouds of electrons created by ionised gas in the beam chamber and microscopic dust particles — playfully known as unidentified falling objects, or UFOs — are interrupting the beams and making it harder to get the LHC running consistently.

In planetary nebulae, thought to be the evolved stage of pre-planetary nebula, the core is exposed and the hotter radiation it emits ionises the gas in the now weaker jets, which in turn glow.

Astronomers thought that ionised gas created by the first generation of stars might be mimicking the imprint of inflation by scattering the microwaves on their way to us from distant parts of the universe.

The contrasting faint reddish clouds that seem to weave between the stars are composed of ionised hydrogen gas.

BURPS of hot ionised gas from the sun can knock out satellites and power grids when they hit Earth (New Scientist, 21 March, p 31).

It would take a huge amount of energy to ionise all this gas, but there was no hint of a source.

When the radio waves pass through the galaxy, a region in which there is both a magnetic field and ionised gas, the direction of polarisation is changed, or «rotated».

These are the glowing remains of the stellar envelope of gas ejected during the AGB phase, which is ionised by ultraviolet radiation emitted by the central star.

This star - forming region of ionised hydrogen gas is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy which neighbours the Milky Way.

Dr Shannon explained that the vast spaces between objects in the Universe contain nearly invisible gas and a plasma of ionised particles that used to be almost impossible to map, until this pulse was detected.

The dark regions correspond to highly ionised regions (such as those around protogalaxies) and the bright regions are dense, neutral pockets of gas.

The energy released now heats the gas till it becomes an ionised plasma due to the high Temperature, the escape of this centraally generated energy to the suface of the «cloud», now a proto star will eventually stop the collapse as the outer layers also heat, and the outer plasma will become opaque to the EM radiation generted at the million degree buring interface.
