RESEARCH IN ASTROPHYSICS.
Abstract
A summary is given of work accomplished in five general categories: (1) The fluid motions of planetary nebulae including radiative transfer aspects of the problem. (2) The evaporation of stars from clusters, and their dynamical history, including the problem of secular stability of such systems. (3) Problems of gravitational instability and condensation of stellar systems. (4) Properties of waves in dense plasmas, including the effects of screening by degenerate electrons on the rates of possible nuclear reactions. (5) Properties of shock waves in attenuated media, especially in attenuated plasmas. Subsidiary related work is also reported. A full bibliography of this work is included. In addition, unpublished work is described in the following subjects: (a) A variational principle for the stability of star clusters. (b) The electrodynamics and statistical mechanics of equilibrium plasmas. (c) The transport properties of magnetoplasmas. (Author)
