Sentences with phrase «spherically symmetric»

For example, if I attempt to do an a priori computation of the quantum structure of, say, a carbon atom, I might begin by solving a single electron model, treating the electron - electron interaction using the probability distribution from the single electron model to generate a spherically symmetric «density» of electrons around the nucleus, and then performing a self - consistent field theory iteration (resolving the single electron model for the new potential) until it converges.

It is considerably closer to the sun than Jupiter, so while the Earth - moon system won't exactly orbit the barycenter of the Earth - moon - sun system (in part because the Earth - moon system is not spherically symmetric?)

The spherically symmetric blue halo illustrates the dark matter distribution.

In a spherically symmetric case, matter can not fall onto a central object when the radiation pressure exceeds the gravity.

Thus, they turned their attempt to arrive at a theoretical understanding of ionisation into a study of a simpler semi-empirical model of the energy potentials — which are local, spherically symmetric, and considered to be constant.
