Introduction To Astrophysics And Study Of Cosmic-Ray Collisions And Scanning, David L. C. Lau

Honors Theses

The discovery of tremendous amounts of energy from the Atomic Explosion (ex: first Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima) was not something new. For billions of years, atoms have been splitting with the release of such energy whenever stars are shining. We know that the atomic energy is being released from the sun and stars, and that this process has been going on for unthinkable years. However, the sun's atomic energy has been under control constantly, and its release of radiation (dynamic force) has supplied the constant supply of light and heat best suited for the well-being of mankind.

Photometry, Arthur G. Barkow

Bachelors’ Theses

The preparation of this paper was not undertaken primarily with a view of discussing all types of photometer, but mostly for the investigation of the Ritchie Wedge. As for the first part, the history or resume is brief and somewhat incomplete. In the ensuing pages, no reference is given to the portable photometer, so helpful to illuminating engineers. This was not deemed necessary since the principle involved is similar to those discussed.

Comets And Meteors, Lincoln N. Oatley

Student and Lippitt Prize essays

Defines and describes named comets and meteor events and their scientific study.

The Fixed Stars, John F. Downey

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The object of this paper is to give, in a popular form, a brief review of what is known about the fixed stars. Although they have always been objects of interest, have guided the mariner over trackless seas, arid have inspired many sublime and noble thoughts, yet, until a comparatively recent date, only three things were known about them; viz., that they retain (approximately) their ·relative positions, that they are self luminous, and that they are very far away.
