on-the-spot (OTS) approximation
  نزدینش ِ درجا   
nazdineš-e darjâ

Fr.:   

An approximation in the treatment of photoionized → H II regions, whereby secondary ionizing photons are absorbed immediately very close to their site of emission. The secondary photons, produced by → radiative recombinations directly to the → ground states, are thus ignored with respect to the ionizing photons emitted by the → exciting star. The OTS approximation requires that the ionized gas be sufficiently dense so that secondary ionizing photons are very likely absorbed within the H II region.

on; → spot; → approximation.

Nazdineš, → approximation; dar "in," from Mid.Pers. andar, → intra-.

one
  یک   
yek (#)

Fr.: un   

1) The smallest whole number, symbol 1; unity. The → multiplicative identity for real and complex numbers.
