on-the-spot (OTS) approximation
  نزدینش ِ درجا

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-dimensional flow
  تچان ِ یک-وامونی

At opposition the body has a solar → elongation of 180°, and is closest to the Earth. It will, in principle, be visible throughout the night.
