Avior (Epsilon Carinae)
The third brightest star in the constellation Carina, a spectroscopic binary consisting of a main sequence B star and a giant K star, separated by just 0.02".

Avior may refer to:
*Avior (Airline)
*Epsilon Carinae, a star ...
AVIOR (Epsilon Carinae). If there is a stellar category of "bright stars getting no respect," Avior probably holds the record. One would think all the brighter stars in the sky would have been studied in great detail. One would be wrong.
The spectrum of Avior is a composite spectrum characteristic of a K3III giant and a B2V main sequence star. The giant would be an orange star with an effective temperature of 4100 K, a mass of about 4.
What is the Structure and Behavior of Matter Under Extreme Conditions?
The Universe is filled with many cases where matter has evolved to extreme physical conditions.
Behavior and description
Adults can be pests when they emerge in large numbers. They can damage paint, brick, and other surfaces with their droppings. When large numbers of adults die they can build up into malodorous piles.

Avior is more of a mystery. In Latin, the nearest words are "avis," meaning "a bird" and "avius," meaning "out of the way, remote, trackless, untrodden.
The behavior of active galaxies is contrary to that expected from vast collections of stars.
The behavior of EM radiation depends on its wavelength. When EM radiation interacts with single atoms and molecules, its behavior also depends on the amount of energy per quantum (photon) it carries.
The behavior of EM radiation depends on its wavelength. Higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths.
The behavior and location of bright patches also help distinguish these patches from clouds and limb haze. Fogs normally form in valleys, linear depressions, basins, and on upper slopes.
The 1/l behavior of the scattering indicates that the dust size must be about the wavelength of light (on the order of 10-5 centimeters). Less blue light reaches us, so the object appears redder than it should.
Aperiodic behavior in an oscillating system; rapid, large-amplitude variations in light.

Observe the behavior of your miniature comet nucleus. It can be handled without gloves if the water ice coating is intact. If a spot feels sticky, pour water on the spot.
The material behavior of real systems is generally too complex to describe over wide ranges of the state variables.
Such behavior is impossible in ordinary 3-dimensional space and suggested instead that our 3-dimensional space is curved, as if it were embedded in 4 dimensions.
Although the behavior of this supernova is already a bit different from what astronomers expected, it appears to be the sort of explosion that ends the life of a single star significantly more massive than our own Sun.

Small powerful source of energy believed to be the active core of very distant galaxies.
Predicting the behavior of a sunspot cycle is fairly reliable once the cycle is well underway (about 3 years after the minimum in sunspot number occurs [see Hathaway, Wilson, and Reichmann Solar Physics; 151, 177 (1994)]).
This schematic behavior has held up in later studies, while at higher redshift the observed numbers are increasingly deficient compared to extrapolations of this behavior. This has been reviewed by, for example, Shaver et al. 1996 Nature 384, 449) ...

A study of the light curve for the supernova reveals the basic behavior of the visual appearance. Figure 13-13 shows examples of lightcurves. A light curve shows the history of the apparent magnitude versus time.
First I will tell you how our Solar System formed and this will help you to better understand the behavior of planets. Then I'll explain how some of the leftover bits ended up as comets that hide in the farthest reaches of the Solar System.
We are limited in our understanding of Jupiter's interior by the fact that we have no laboratory knowledge of the behavior of hydrogen under such conditions and are forced to rely on theory.
Ruth Benedict, an American anthropologist, suggested, for example, in Patterns of Culture (1934) that the differing and even conflicting moral beliefs and behavior of the North American Indian Kwakiutl, Pueblo, ...
Theory, however, cannot provide the observed behavior from first principles, so it is unable to show whether the standard candle behavior, which is seen in nearby supernovae, persists at large redshift, where the universe is younger, ...
Something clicks in people's behavior making them exchange information, most always with everyone getting more out of the event than was individually put into it.
The satellite systems mimic the behavior of their parent planets, but many more exceptions are found.
Stars are sometimes grouped by mass based upon their evolutionary behavior as they approach the end of their nuclear fusion lifetimes. Very low mass stars with masses below 0.

Dynamic equilibrium occurs whenever a change in the statistical behavior of a large group of particles is balanced by an opposite change in the statistical behavior of a similarly large group of different particles.
What Einstein did was extend the concept of Galilean Relativity to the observed behavior of light.
Though Copernicus offered a partial solution to Mars' puzzling behavior, it took a Johannes Kepler to discern the riddle of planetary motion. Copernicus knew the more distant a planet, the slower it moves in its orbit.
Thousands of years ago, people noticed that the behavior of the objects in the sky that were later to be called planets was different from the other stars. Most stars maintain a fixed position relative to each other.
[1670] epsilon Carinae, also known as Avior, has a magnitude of 1.86 and is one of the brightest stars in the sky, but cannot be seen from the northern hemisphere. Its primary component is a dying orange giant and the companion star is a blue dwarf.

This is very similar to the behavior of a pendulum. The longer the swing arm, the longer it takes to make one swing.

This type of behavior has been predicted, but this is the first convincing observation of the process in action.
A theory of physics that describes the dynamical behavior of matter and energy. The consequences of relativity can be quite strange at very high velocities and very high densities.
In the case of recurrent novae and , a shell of ejected matter can be detected spectroscopically, while exhibit no such behavior. There are at least two classes of recurrent nova: 1. U Sco, V394 CrA, or LMC 1990#2.
Controllers are studying the data for clues as to what caused the rover's odd behavior over the last two days. Among issues facing controllers is the apparent crash of Spirit's computer.
