Appendix 1 Some Astrophysical Reminders
Appendix 1 Some Astrophysical Reminders Marc Ollivier 1.1 A Physics and Astrophysics Overview 1.1.1 Star or Planet? Roughly speaking, we can say that the physics of stars and planets is mainly governed by their mass and thus by two effects: 1. Gravitation that tends to compress the object, thus releasing gravitational energy 2. Nuclear processes that start as the core temperature of the object increases The mass is thus a good parameter for classifying the different astrophysical objects, the adapted mass unit being the solar mass (written Ma). As the mass decreases, three categories of objects can be distinguished: ∼ 1. if M>0.08 Ma ( 80MJ where MJ is the Jupiter mass) the mass is sufficient and, as a consequence, the gravitational contraction in the core of the object is strong enough to start hydrogen fusion reactions. The object is then called a “star” and its radius is proportional to its mass. 2. If 0.013 Ma <M<0.08 Ma (13 MJ <M<80 MJ), the core temperature is not high enough for hydrogen fusion reactions, but does allow deuterium fu- sion reactions. The object is called a “brown dwarf” and its radius is inversely proportional to the cube root of its mass. 3. If M<0.013 Ma (M<13 MJ) the temperature a the center of the object does not permit any nuclear fusion reactions. The object is called a “planet”. In this category one distinguishes giant gaseous and telluric planets. This latter is not massive enough to accrete gas. The mass limit between giant and telluric planets is about 10 terrestrial masses. -

It included 47 locali- ties throughout the country. The surveyed invertebrate groups included slugs and snails (Gastropoda), dragonflies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), true bugs (Heteroptera), ants (Formicidae), butterflies (Lepidoptera) and some coleopterans (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae). Data on the visited localities, identi- fied species and their conservation status are presented. In total, 316 species of 209 genera and 68 families were recorded. Fifty species were identified as potential indicator species for this wetland habitat type. The highest species richness (with more than 50 species) was observed in wetlands near Marino pole (Plovdiv District) and Karaisen (Veliko Tarnovo District). Key words: Gastropoda, Odonata, Orthoptera, Heteroptera, Formicidae, Lepidoptera, Pselaphinae, wetland. Introduction According to the EUNIS Biodiversity Database, all known mire and spring complex according to the wetlands (mires, bogs and fens) are territories with occurrence of rare and threaten plant and mollusc water table at or above ground level for at least half species. -

Astr 450 Assignment 5: Earth-Based Life in Extreme Environments Due Thu Feb 19, 2009
Astr 450 Assignment 5: Earth-based life in extreme environments due Thu Feb 19, 2009 An ”extremophile” is an organism that thrives in extreme environments, where ”extreme” means different from the Earth surface norms in temperature, pressure, or composition. ”Thrive” in this context means that these conditions are ideal for the organism, and in fact, most extremophiles would perish if brought to Earth-normal conditions. For each of the following categories of extremophile, identify (i) the extreme condition with numerical values, and (ii) at least one location on Earth where these extreme conditions are realized, and (iii) if in your researches you come across a type of organism that does not ultimately rely upon the Sun as its source of energy, then please make a note if it. 1. Acidophile 2. Alkalophile 3. Thermophile 4. Psychrophile 5. Piezophile (also called a barophile) 6. Lithophile (also called an endolith) 7. Halophile You must include a bibliographic entry for all sources you use. You can organize this information in chart form if you wish, but it is certainly not required. Finally, quickly skim the wikipedia article on the bacterium named “deinococcus radiodurans” and tell me the (surprising) extreme condition it can tolerate which is NOT on the list above. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinococcus radiodurans Requirements for a good assignment • The assignment will be graded strictly, as expected for a 400-level course. The assignment is graded out of 30 points. • Have your name, SID, and a word count at the top of the paper. Use question-and-answer format when writing your assignment, do NOT hand in a run-on paragraph (50% penalty). -

MALACOLOGICAL NEWSLETTER • Kiadja a MÁTRA MÚZEUM TERMÉSZETTUDOMÁNYI OSZTÁLYA Published by THE NATURAL SCIENCE SECTION OF MÁTRA MUSEUM Szerkesztő (Editor) Dr. FÜKÖH LEVENTE HU - ISSN 0230-0648 Distribution of Molluscs of the Molluscan Clay of Two Localities According to Habitats and Feeding Habits (Wind Brickyard, Eger and Nyárjas Hill. Novaj; Hungary) A. Dávid Abstract: Among the Egerian Age exposures of North-east Hungary the Molluscan Clay of Wind Brickyard (Eger) and Nyárjas Hill (Novaj) contain fossils in exceptional richness. Distribution of molluscs of the Molluscan Clay of these two outcrops according to habitats and feeding habits is examined and compared. There are definite differences between the two localities. Introduction Among the several Upper-Oligocene outrops of North-Hungary the Molluscan Clay layers «f _Wind Brickyard, Eger and Nyárjas Hill, Novaj is compared (Fig.l.). These layers contain well-preserved „micro-mollusc" fossils abudantly. The bivalves, gastropods and schaphopods which were living here during the Egerian stage have belonged into the Hinia — Cadulus fossil community. It refers to similar paleoenvironments in case of both localities. The sea was deeper than 120 metres and the bottom was covered by fine-gra ined, clayey sediments. The aim of the investigation was to examine the distribution of the molluscs according to habitats and feeding habits in the collected materials. Methods Fifteen kilograms of clay was taken from both localities. After drying the samples were treated with hot water and peroxide of hydrogen. This material was washed out through a 0,5 nun sieve. At the end the molluscan remains were assorted from among the other fossils (e.gJ^oraminifera, Decapoda, Echinoidea, Osteichthyes). -

The valley is about 2.5 km wide; the scene covers 9.8 km by 27.9 km centred on 5.1°N/48.26°W. The valley floor at top right exhibits a 200 m-wide channel covered by dunes and debris. This channel suggests that the valley might have been carved by water flowing through the system over a long period, in a manner similar to rivers on Earth.
