  درجه‌ی ِ چاروش   
daraje-ye câruš

Fr.: degré carré

Square Kilometer Array (SKA)
     
SKA

Fr.: SKA

The number of individual telescopes will be 2000 to 3000. SKA will have a sensitivity 100 times higher than that of today's best radio telescopes and an angular resolution < 0.1 arcsec at 1.4 GHz. The site will be selected in 2012 and early science with Phase 1 is scheduled for from 2016 on. See also the SKA homepage.

square; → kilometer; → array.

The fourth, → Alpheratz, was lost to Pegasus when the constellation boundaries were formalised, and now lies just within the borders of → Andromeda.

square; → Pegasus.

Chahârguš, → tetragon; → Pegasus.

  ریشه‌ی ِ چاروش   
riše-ye câruš

Fr.: racine carée

square; → root.

square wave
  موج ِ چاروش   
mowj-e câruš

Fr.: onde carrée

SS 433
     
SS 433

Fr.: SS 433   

A → close binary star lying at the center of the → supernova remnant W50, in → Aquila, about 18,000 → light-years away. The system consists of a normal → O star or → B star in a 13.087 day orbit around a compact object that is either a → neutron star or a → black hole. Material transferred from the normal star into an → accretion disk surrounding the compact object is ejected in two jets of ionized gas in opposite directions, at about a quarter of the speed of light. The system is also a periodic X-ray source. The jets are emitted in a cone with a half-angle of about 20°. The cone is inclined by 80° to the line of sight. The compact object precesses with a period of 164 days. This causes the projected angle of the jets to go through a 164 day cycle, giving the variation in the Doppler shifts.

Such called because this object carries number 433 in the Stephenson-Sanduleak catalog of stars with strong emission lines, compiled by Bruce Stephenson and Nicholas Sanduleak in 1977.

stability
  پایداری   
pâydâri (#)

Fr.: stabilité
