Rotation in Space - Professor Carolin Crawford
Ανέβηκε στις 8 Φεβ 2012
Rotation
is a fundamental physical process throughout the Universe. So much is
spinning, from planets and stars revolving on their axes, to whole
spiral galaxies rotating around their centre. We shall start by looking
at the fundamentals of rotational motion, including the concept of
angular momentum. This then will be extended to show what observations
of rotation can tell us about how planetary systems form and develop,
how neutron stars evolve with time, and how rotational motion provides
crucial evidence for the presence and distribution of the elusive dark
matter.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition
continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being
made available for free download from our website.
