So, the orbit of the secondary body with make a "0" shape as it progressing about the primary body. ## Spectral Classification - Sun > [!tip] The sun is a G2V star because its *GrooVy*. ## Stephan Boltzmann > [!tip] Stephan-Boltzmann goes for a walk with you. > $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \; {\rm W \, m^{-2} \, K^{4}}$ > 5 to 6 to 7 to 8 ## Crab Nebula > [!tip] CRABS COME IN THREES. > > $P = 30 \; \pu{ms} \hspace{2cm} \dot{P} = 10^{-13} \; \pu{s/s} \hspace{2cm} L_{\rm crab} = 75000 \; {\rm L_{\odot}} \simeq 3 \times 10^{31} \; \pu{W}$ > > Observed in 1054.

We talk about $\Omega_{k}$ more than $k$, but just remember that they have a minus sign relative to one another so a negative $\Omega_{k}$ means a positive $k $ and vice versa. > > ![[trapped_man.jpg|align:center|300]] ## The Einasto Profile > [!tip] Ei**mass**to > The [[Galaxy Profiles#Einasto Profile]] is nice because it has a well-defined total mass.
