Remaining issues, such as the cuspy halo problem and the dwarf galaxy problem of cold dark matter, are not fatal to the dark matter explanation as solutions to such problems exist which involve only further refinements of the theory.

Some Boeotian vase-paintings show a caricature version of the episode, acted out by dwarf pygmies with negroid attributes, and an aged and lame Odysseus leaning on a staff ; they are the mute survivors of some rustic comedy tradition that is impenetrable to us.

BPM 37093 is a white dwarf star whose carbon atoms are thought to have formed a crystalline structure.

It contains several million stars, most of which are yellow dwarf stars, but also possesses red giants and blue-white stars ; the stars have an average age of 12 billion years.

Both components are orange-hued dwarf ( main sequence ) stars ; the primary is of magnitude 5. 2 and the secondary is of magnitude 6. 1.

As the mass of a model white dwarf increases, the typical energies to which degeneracy pressure forces the electrons are no longer negligible relative to their rest masses.

According to a group of astronomers at the University of Toronto and elsewhere, the observations of this supernova are best explained by assuming that it arose from a white dwarf which grew to twice the mass of the Sun before exploding.

Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the subgenus Oxycoccus of the genus Vaccinium.

Low surface brightness dwarf galaxies are important sources of information for studying dark matter, as they have an uncommonly low ratio of visible matter to dark matter, and have few bright stars at the center which would otherwise impair observations of the rotation curve of outlying stars.

They are the predominant race in Barsaive, and the dwarf language is considered the common language.

At a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society in Britain, a team from University of Queensland described 40 unknown " dwarf " galaxies in this constellation ; follow-up observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope revealed that ultra compact dwarfs are much smaller than previously known dwarf galaxies, about across.

For example, these are all elements he includes in “ Hop-Frog .” The title character, a dwarf taken from his homeland, becomes the jester of a king particularly fond of practical jokes.

This is probably because of interactions with its own galactic companions, as well as possible mergers with dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the recent past-the remnants of which are still visible in the disk populations.

They are among the most massive objects in the Solar System outside the Sun and the eight planets, with radii larger than any of the dwarf planets.

Mostali are a machine-like dwarf race, extremely xenophobic, orthodox and insular.

Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies have recently been discovered that are only 100 parsecs across.

Since small dwarf ellipticals bear little resemblance to large ellipticals, they are often called dwarf spheroidal galaxies instead.

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two brightest galaxies within the group ; many of the other member galaxies are dwarf companions of these two galaxies.

It does appear clear that globular clusters are significantly different from dwarf elliptical galaxies and were formed as part of the star formation of the parent galaxy rather than as a separate galaxy.

Other hamsters kept as pets are the various species of " dwarf hamster ".

Campbell's dwarf hamster ( Phodopus campbelli ) is the most common — they are also sometimes called " Russian dwarfs "; however, many hamsters are from Russia, so this ambiguous name does not distinguish them from other species appropriately.

The dwarf ordinary addressed some of these faults by reducing the front wheel diameter and setting the seat further back.

This has prompted suspicion that Omega Centauri was the core of a dwarf galaxy that had been absorbed by the Milky Way.

The name " Pluto " was reportedly suggested by Venetia Burney, then an 11-year-old English school girl, who died in April 2009, having lived to see the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet.

However, recent conjectures by astronomers suggest that globular clusters and dwarf spheroidals may not be clearly separate and distinct types of objects.

Remotely guided space probes have flown by all of the planets of the Solar System from Mercury to Neptune, with the New Horizons probe currently en route to fly by the dwarf planet Pluto and the Dawn spacecraft en route to the dwarf planet Ceres.

* 1978 – Charon, a satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto, is discovered by American astronomer James W. Christy.

As of 2008, only five objects in the Solar System, Ceres, Eris, and the KBOs Pluto, Makemake and Haumea, are listed as dwarf planets by the IAU.

Two dwarf species, named Orcinus nanus and Orcinus glacialis, were described during the 1980s by Soviet researchers, but most cetacean researchers are skeptical about their status, and linking these directly to the types described below is difficult.

Regin, a dwarf, had two brothers ; Andvari, who gained food by spending time in the Andvara-falls in the form of a pike, and Ótr, who would often go to the Andvara-falls in the form of an otter.

Of the red stars observed by Hertzsprung, the dwarf stars also followed the spectra-luminosity relationship discovered by Russell.

The values of luminosity ( L ), radius ( R ) and mass ( M ) are relative to the Sun — a dwarf star with a spectral classification of G2 V. The actual values for a star may vary by as much as 20 – 30 % from the values listed below.

In astrophysics, mass transfer is the process by which matter gravitationally bound to a body, usually a star, fills its Roche lobe and becomes gravitationally bound to a second body, usually a compact object ( white dwarf, neutron star or black hole ), and is eventually accreted onto it.

This may be caused by the explosion of a helium shell on a white dwarf.

The first known actions of the Orange Alternative consisted of painting dwarf graffiti on spots created by the police's covering up anti-regime slogans on walls of the Polish cities.

If the core of the star is not too massive ( less than approximately 1. 4 solar mass, taking into account mass loss that has occurred by this time ), it may then form a white dwarf ( possibly surrounded by a planetary nebula ) as described above for less massive stars, with the difference that the white dwarf is composed chiefly of oxygen, neon, and magnesium.

He is accompanied by a threatening dwarf.

In contrast, the dwarf pygmy goby measures a minute.

In contrast to the Sun where convection only occurs in the outer layers, a red dwarf with a mass this low will be entirely convective.

In contrast to this, in later life Spare would refer to a wide variety of heterosexual encounters that took place at this time, including with a hermaphrodite, a dwarf with a protuberant forehead and a Welsh maid.

Adding to the inner complexities of the picture and creating further visual interactions is the male dwarf in the foreground, whose raised hand echoes the gesture of the figure in the background, while his playful demeanour, and distraction from the central action, are in complete contrast with it.

In addition, although the term " dwarf " is used to contrast yellow main-sequence stars from giant stars, yellow dwarfs like the Sun outshine 90 % of the stars in the Galaxy ( which are largely orange dwarfs, red dwarfs, and white dwarfs, the latter being a post-main-sequence star ).

*' Gentsch White ' - a dwarf shrub growing to 1. 3 m tall with an equal spread and new spring growth that turns creamy-white in autumn through winter, creating a dramatic contrast with the dark green old growth, it is easily scorched by the sun and requires partial shade.
