... The ADDRESS element specifies such information as address, signature and authorship for the current document, and typically placed at the top or bottom of the document. ... CLASS . ... The CLASS attribute is most commonly used to attach a different style to some element, but it is recommended that where practical class names should be picked on the basis of the element's semantics, as this will permit other uses, such as restricting search through documents by matching on element class names. ...

It is possible to piece together the processes that have shaped the observed characteristics of a galaxy by studying its stars in detail. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is an excellent candidate for this type of study because of its favourable viewing angle and ongoing star formation. I present the results of high-resolution VLT/FLAMES observations of ~80 red giant stars around star cluster NGC 1846, located in the disc of the LMC. ...

Abstract -- Abundances of heavy elements decreases with increasing galactocentric distance almost in all disk galaxies. ... To explain this gradient in young objects and in the interstellar gas one has to assume that a typical disk galaxy is an open system, i.e. it expels some synthesized heavy elements into the circumgalactic space and/or accretes intergalactic gas with zero metallicity, with rates of both processes depending on the galactocentric distance. ...

All stars derive their energy through the thermonuclear fusion of light elements in to heavy elements. High temperatures are required so that the mutual electrostatic repulsion of the protons in each fusing atomic nucleus is overcome. ... Elements with more protons in their nuclei require higher temperatures. ... This sequence is now shown in the animation below. ... First Step of the Proton-Proton Chain Narration .
