Interstellar Medium
It is composed of dust, gas, radiation, and cosmic rays.
What is the interstellar medium?
These are accreting material to one day become a star.
What is a protostar?
These 5338 confirmed objects expand over a wide range of temperatures, sizes, and masses.
What is exoplanets?
Is a nebula created by the external layers of a late low mass star.
What is a planetary nebula?
This end of semester parties ingredient has been found in the interstellar medium.
What is ethyl alcohol?
These flow at high speeds from both sides of a protostar due to squeezing.
What is gas jets?
These are composed of the debris after a star is formed.
What is a protoplanetary disk?
These are like rock stars; they live fast, die soon and with a big explosion.
What are massive stars?
This cold, dense places are good for baby stars.
What are molecular clouds?
These are produced after a chain reaction when the first star is formed in a giant molecular cloud.
What are star clusters?
This detection method looks at the light decrease while a planet is passing in front of a star.
What is transit?
These are normally the result of a supernova from a massive star of LESS than 40 solar masses.
The ionized gas that compose these is glowing at high temperature.
What is H II regions?
When the core of a star is ignited the star is here in the HR diagram.
What is the main sequence?
This detection method uses the spectral shift caused by the wobbling of a star due to a planet.
What is Doppler shift?
This is produced by the energetic jets of a spinning neutron stars.
What is a pulsar?
This wavelength is used to detect atomic hydrogen in the ISM.
What is 21cm radio line?
These are bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars.
What is a Herbig-Haro object?
These alien planets are more massive than the Earth but are not made of gas.
What are super-Earths?
The escape velocity of these is c.
What are blackholes?
This is the value of the Chandrasekhar limit.
What is 1.4 solar masses?
