Sentences with phrase «tenuous gas»

A very dense gas may have the same temperature as a very tenuous gas of the same kind; and they have the same kinetic temperature T if and only if they have the same the same average molecular KE.

The solar heliosphere is the name for the tenuous gas and pieces of magnetic flux that is ejected off the surface of the sun.

Indeed, sometime after the tenuous gas of the Solar nebula began collapsing into the proto - Sun within its host molecular cloud, a strong magnetic field developed that was instrumental in transporting rotational energy away from its core region in bi-polar jets of gas so that centrifugal forces created by the nebula's collapse did not grow so much as to halt continuing gravitational contraction.

Comerón's scenario, however, was considered to be unlikely for a tenuous gas cloud until astronomers came to realize that such clouds could be held together by a massive clump of dark matter.

For example, mass - loss from stars like TX Cam is second only to supernova explosions as a contributor to the interstellar medium, the tenuous gas and dust between the stars from which new stars and planets are formed.

From all these data, the scientists determined the cluster's mass: two quadrillion times the mass of our own sun, most of it dark matter and hot, tenuous gas.

Absorption systems allow researchers to investigate very tenuous gas clouds.

Even though astronomers assume that tenuous gas clouds account for a considerable fraction of the total mass of the Milky Way galaxy, very little is known about them.

Intergalactic space (the space between galaxies) is filled with a tenuous gas of an average density less than one atom per cubic metre.

The tenuous gas flows in ribbons, sheets, and filaments, forming those incredibly intricate wisps, and all of this sits inside a concave hole scooped out of one side of a larger complex.

Not exact matches

In particular, the tenuous but high speed gas in rotating disks is not easy to see.

The corona is a large, tenuous layer of gas whose structure is governed by the Sun's magnetic field.

However, the more tenuous neutral hydrogen gas slowed down substantially in the corona.

Because the gas is so tenuous and not quite hot enough for X-ray telescopes to pick up, nobody had been able to see it before.

The stars will fade and eventually matter itself may fall apart as protons decay, leaving behind nothing but a wispy gas of fundamental particles, ever - more tenuous and ever colder.

The team thinks that, at 10 million °C, the gas is too hot and tenuous to fall in readily, so our black hole, which would eat colder meals more easily, can't swallow much of it.
