bipolar jet
  شان ِ دوقطبی   
šân-e doqotbi

Fr.: jet bipolaire   

One of two beams of high-temperature, ionized gas ejected in two opposite directions associated with a → protostar. The collimated jets, a consequence of the → accretion process, can extend over distances of several → light-years.

bipolar nebula
  میغ ِ دوقطبی   
miq-e doqotbi

Fr.: nébuleuse bipolaire   

An interstellar cloud of ionized gas with two main lobes which lie symmetrically on either side of a central star. The bipolar shape is generally due to the ejection of material by the central star in opposing directions.

  ا ُستچان ِ دوقطبی   
ostacân-e doqotbi

Fr.: flot bipolaire   

A flow of gaseous material in two opposite directions emanating from protostellar regions or from → evolved stars during the early post-→ AGB evolution. In protostellar regions → molecular outflows are pushed by → bipolar jets.

Ostacân, → outflow; doqotbibipolar.

birefringence
  دوشکست   
došekast (#)

Fr.: biréfringence   

A property of some crystalline materials (e.g. calcite, quartz) which have different indices of refraction associated with different crystallographic directions. Therefore, the crystal splits incident transmitted light into two beams, each polarized perpendicularly to the other. Also called double refraction.

Birefringence, from → bi- + refringence, from L. refringere "to break up," from → re- "back" + combination form of frangere "to break."

Došekast, from do- "two," → bi- + šekast "breaking," from šekastan "to break up," Mid.Pers. škastan, Av. skand- "to break."

došekastgar, došekasti (#)

Fr.: biréfringent   

Of or relating to → birefringence.

  پالایه‌ی ِ دوشکستی، ~ دوشکستگر   
pâlâye-ye došekastgar, ~ došekasti

Fr.: filtre biréfringent   

A type of narrow-band filter that uses the birefringence to produce selective absorption of polarized light.

birefringent; → filter.

  خلأ ِ دوشکستگر   
xala'-e došekastgar

Fr.: vide biréfringent   

Empty space undergoing → vacuum birefringence.

Birkhoff's theorem
  فربین ِ بیرکهوف   
farbin-e Birkhoff

Fr.: théorème de Birkhoff   

For a four dimensional → space-time, the → Schwarzschild metric is the only solution of → Einstein's field equations which describes the gravitational field created by a spherically symmetrical distribution of mass. The theorem implies that the gravitational field outside a sphere is necessarily static, and that the metric inside a spherical shell of matter is necessarily flat.

The theorem was first demonstrated in 1923 by George David Birkhoff (1884-1944), an American mathematician; → theorem

birth
  ۱) زایمان؛ ۲) زادمان، زاد؛ ۳) زایش   
1) zâymân; 2) zâdmân, zâd; 3) zâyeš

Fr.: 1) acouchement; 2;3 ) naissance   

1) The act or process of bearing or bringing forth offspring.
2) The act or fact of being born.
3) The coming into existence of something.

M.E. byrthe; O.E. gebyrd; cf. O.H.G. giburt, Ger. geburt; PIE *bhrto, from *bher- "to bear."

1) Zâymân, from zây present stem of zâyidan, zâdan "to give birth" (Mid.Pers. zâtan; Av. zan- "to bear, give birth to a child, be born," infinitive zazāite, zāta- "born;" cf. Skt. janati "begets, bears;" Gk. gignesthai "to become, happen;" L. gignere "to beget," gnasci "to be born;" PIE base *gen- "to give birth, beget") + -mân a suffix forming verbal nouns, → organization.
2) Zâd, past stem of zâyidan, zâdan, as above; zâdmân with prefix -mân, as above.
3) Zâyeš, from zây, present stem of zâyidan + -eš suffix of verbal nouns, → -tion.

birth binary population (BBP)
  پرینش ِ دورین‌ها هنگام ِ زادمان   
porineš-e dorinhâ hengâm-e zâdmân

Fr.: population binaire à la naissance   

In star formation models, the population of binary components formed via random pairing of stars distributed according to the → canonical IMF.

birth; → binary; → population.

birthline
  زاد-خط   
zâd-xatt

Fr.: ligne de naissance   

The path in the → H-R diagram that continuously → accreting stars follow. Stars on the birthline are difficult to observe, because they are hidden by the → accretion disk and a dense → cocoon of → interstellar matter. The star becomes visible once a sufficient amount of the surrounding matter has been dispersed. It follows that the young starsare observed generally between the birthline and the → zero-age main sequence (ZAMS). Before hydrogen ignition, gravitational contraction and deuterium burning are the main energy sources for the star. The localization of the birthline depends on the deuterium → accretion rate. First introduced by R. Behrend & A. Maeder, 2001 (A&A 373, 190).

birth; → line.
