Uxors are intermediate-mass stars surrounded by debris clouds that cause the stars' brightness to fluctuate erratically. Theories suggest Uxors are young stars still forming, with dust and debris disks obscuring views of the stars from certain angles. While eclipsing binary stars also dim periodically as two stars orbit each other, Uxors exhibit irregular brightness changes without consistent periods due to varying densities in the debris clouds around them. Six weeks of observations found one strong Uxor candidate and three stars requiring further study based on unclear light variations.

The Stars And The Galaxies In The Universe 2 Lguest2dc5cb
This powerpoint slidesare from form 3 sallabus and it is about stars and galaxies. Students are allowed to view and upload their ideas of stars and galaxies.
stars life .. how they are formed ... supernova , what is black hole, worm hole ..... very very interesting topic in very simple language and many images that make u understand easily

במאמר זה נביא בפניכם עשרה מצבים בחיים שפשוט דורשים הדפסה על חולצות, על מנת שתוכלו לחגוג את האירוע או המועד כמו שצריך ולציין אותו בצורה שתזכיר לכם אותו גם בעוד שנים רבות.
One of my friends Mr. Ajit Gadre has sent me this fantastic PPT. I liked it so I am sharing this. Many thanks to him. This shows how small, tiny and नगण्य
we are in this Universe.
For your viewing pleasure. Worth downloading to get the full effect of the presentation.
I receive several PowerPoint presentations through e-mail, so I thought I'd share them. I just post them. I didn't creat them :)

2. Characteristics of Uxors: Mass
Drawn to scale-Neptune is
approx. 2,795,084,800 miles
from the sun (not in picture)

Cool Cosmos, 2015, web
-Uxor stars are commonly
intermediate-mass stars;
similar to the mass of our
sun.
3. Characteristics of Uxors: Formation
-Theories suggest that Uxors are
young stars surrounded by a disk of
dust and debris.
-The dust and debris aggregate in a
formation process to create the
young star.
4. Characteristics of Uxors: Disks
-The debris cloud is not consistently
dense throughout, which causes the
star to appear to fluctuate in
brightness.
-Theories suggest we are looking at
the cloud at an angle into the outer
flaring region, which obscures our
view. The rest of the time we have a
clear perspective of the star.
Outer flaring region
5. Uxors and Eclipsing Binary Stars
-When two stars are gravitationally
pulled towards each other they are
known as eclipsing binary stars.
-Appear to dim in brightness similar
to Uxors.
-Smooth, consistent dimming
period differing from Uxors.

6. Uxors and Eclipsing Binary Stars
-Uxors are more erratic with no
consistent period between events.
-Uxors will appear to have a color
shift as the dust cloud density
changes.
-Red due to dust absorption.
-Blue due to unobscured
scattered radiation.

27. Conclusion
- We have been observing these Uxors for six weeks. Approx. 20 nights
-There are 3 unclear stars with strong light variation that need follow-up
observations.
-There is 1 strong candidate to be classified as an Uxor.
-There is 1 star with minimal light variation.
