Apophis

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Apophis.wav

From Ancient Greek Ἄποφις (Ápophis), a borrowing from Egyptian ꜥꜣpp altered after ὄφις (óphis, “snake”).

The spacecraft’s navigators have worked out a trajectory that would take it to the asteroid Apophis in April 2029, just after that object, a bit smaller than Bennu, zips within an uncomfortably close but still safe 20,000 miles from Earth.

2021 May 10, Kenneth Chang, “Bye-Bye, Bennu: NASA Heads Back to Earth With Asteroid Stash in Tow”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

(astronomy) An asteroid that formerly had a high risk of collision with Earth.


red dwarf

(astronomy) A small, relatively cool star of the main sequence.


gravitational collapse

en-noun

gravitational collapse (countable and uncountable, plural gravitational collapses)

The stage in the evolution of a star in which the pressure of the star is insufficient to maintain it at a stable size, and its material falls inward under its own gravity, eventually forming a black hole or a neutron star, and sometimes accompanied by a supernova explosion.

Hertzsprung-Russell diagram

(astronomy) A major grouping of stars represented on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram by a nearly uniform band of increasing luminosity with increasing surface temperature.


once in a blue moon

See blue moon. First use appears c. 1833. See cite below.

Coordinate term: once in a purple moon

We are no advocates for the eternal system of producing foreign operas to the exclusion of the works of English composers, but once in a blue moon such a thing may be allowed.

1833, J. Lection (publisher), The Athenæum, page 780:

[T]ime expanded and space contracted, and the name Blue Moon took on a symbolic meaning, as if the future, so delicately plausible, were of a kind that might happen once in a blue moon only.

1933, James Hilton, Lost Horizon, published 1973, page 133:

(idiomatic) Very rarely; very infrequently.


pulsar

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-pulsar.wav

magnetar

Blend of magnet + pulsar. Analyzable as magnet + -ar.

This signal could be detected with Advanced LIGO-class detectors up to the distance of the Virgo cluster, where ≥ 1 yr⁻¹ magnetars are expected to form.

2007, S. Dall'Osso, L. Stella, “Newborn magnetars as sources of gravitational radiation: constraints from high energy observations of magnetar candidates”, in Silvia Zane, Roberto Turolla, Dany Page, editors, Isolated Neutron Stars: From the Surface to the Interior, page 119:

2008, W. Becker, F, Haberl, J Trümper, 14: Pulsars and Isolated Neutron Stars, Joachim E. Trümper, Günther Hasinger (editors), The Universe in X-Rays, page 193,
The radio-silent neutron stars include anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), and “quiescent” neutron star candidates in SNRs. There is growing evidence that AXPs and SGRs are indeed magnetars (see [109] for a review).

One of most mysterious feature[s] of magnetars is their X-ray luminosities, which always exceed the rotational energy loss. Thus, the energy source of the radiation of magnetars is a mysterious question.

2011, Yukikatsu Terada, Tadayasu Dotani, “The International X-ray Observatiry and other X-ray missions, expectations for pulsar physics”, in Nanda Rea, Diego F. Torres, editors, High-Energy Emission from Pulsars and Their Systems: Proceedings of the First Session of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics, page 576:

(astronomy) A neutron star or pulsar with an extremely powerful magnetic field, especially those on which starquakes occur, thought to be the source of some gamma-ray bursts.

starquake

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-starquake.wav

Astronomers call the sudden changes in the neutron star starquakes. The energy released in a starquake is enormous and flows out from the star into the space surrounding it. After the 1969 starquake on the Crab pulsar, a wave of energy was seen to flow outwards, rippling through the centre of the Crab Nebula.

1985, Paul Murdin, Lesley Murdin, New Astronomy, page 131:

2000, Richard I. Epstein, Bennett Link, Starquake-Induced Glitches in Pulsars, Kwong-Sang Cheng H, F, Chau, K. L. Chan, K. C. Leung (editors), Stellar Astrophysics: Proceedings of the Pacific Rim Conference, page 96,
Starquakes in slowing neutron stars drive matter toward the magnetic poles, distort the star's shape, and excite precession.

2000, Carl Sagan, Jerome Agel, Carl Sagan's Cosmic Connection: An Extraterrestrial Perspective [new edition of 1973, The Cosmic Connection], page 260,
Should the core be solid, starquakes are expected — a shifting of the matter under enormous stress in the interior of the star. Such starquakes should produce a discontinuous change in the period of rotation of the neutron star. Such changes, called "glitches," are observed.

(astronomy) A violent tremor or quake that occurs on or near the surface of a star, especially a collapsed star.


pole star

From pole (“either of the two points on the Earth’s surface around which it rotates; similar points on any other rotating object”) + star, possibly a calque of Latin stēllam polārem (“the Pole Star”).

calque

Polaris is currently the pole star of planet Earth.

Who can doubt that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole-star for a thousand years?

1837 August 31, Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The American Scholar. An Oration Delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, at Cambridge, August 31, 1837.”, in J[ames] E[lliot] Cabot, editor, Nature, Addresses, and Lectures (Emerson’s Complete Works; I), Riverside edition, London: The Waverley Book Company, published 1883, →OCLC, page 84:

(astronomy) The star visible to the naked eye which was in the past, is now, or will be in the future nearest a celestial pole of a planet.

Damocloid

(astronomy) An asteroid (such as 5335 Damocles) that exhibits long-period, highly eccentric orbits typical of periodic comets without showing a coma.


helioseismology

Helioseismology, like terrestrial seismology, provides information about the interior of the body under study by using observations of slight motions on the surface.

1989, John N. Bahcall, Neutrino Astrophysics, Cambridge University Press, page 104:

Helioseismology provides unique information about the global dynamics of the Sun and local flows in active regions in the upper convection zone.

PIE word
 *upó
The adjective is a learned borrowing from Late Latin sublūnāris (“sublunar, sublunary”) + English -ary (suffix meaning of or pertaining to forming adjectives).

By surface analysis, sub- + lunary.
The noun is derived from the adjective.

Named by the astronomer Johannes Hevelius in 1662, from Latin mīrus (“wonderful, surprising”).

The favoured explanation, adopted by Maraldi, was based on the assumption that the star was rotating and composed of two different parts, a bright and a dark region; if so, it might only be visible when the bright region turned towards Earth. Whatever the explanation, Mira had puzzled the astronomers because of its random character and the irregular periods between its observations.

Astronomen haben an dem schon seit 400 Jahren bekannten Stern Mira eine überraschende Entdeckung gemacht: Der Himmelskörper im Sternbild Walfisch zieht einen kometenartigen Schweif hinter sich her. Er ist mit 13 Lichtjahren mehrere tausend Mal so lang wie unser Sonnensystem. Eine solche Beobachtung sei bisher noch nie gelungen, schreibt das Team um Mark Seibert von der Carnegie Institution im Fachblatt "Nature".

Albireo

Probably from the phrase "ab ireo" in the title for the constellation Cygnus in the star catalog of the Almagest, as translated by Gerard of Cremona. Christian Ludwig Ideler speculated that "ireo" referred to the plant called irio. Later, people apparently considered "abireo" to refer to the star, and as a misprint of an Arabic term, and transcribed it as al-bireo.

(astronomy) A binary star in the constellation Cygnus; Beta (β) Cygni.


Thuban

From Arabic ثُعْبَان (ṯuʕbān, “snake”), the Arabic name for the constellation Alpha Draconis being الثُعْبَان (aṯ-ṯuʕbān).

Algenib

From Arabic الجَانِب (al-jānib) "the side".

[Alpheratz, Alpherat, and Sirrah are from the Arabians' Al Surrat al Faras, the Horse's Navel, as this star formerly was associated with Pegasus, whence it was transferred to the Woman's hair; and some one has strangely called it Umbilicus Andromedae. But in all late Arabian astronomy taken from Ptolemy it was described as Al Rās al Mar'ah al Musalsalah, the Head of the Woman in Chains.]
