Spectral Continuum
A spectral continuum occurs when the interactions of a large number of atoms, ions or molecules spread out all of the discrete emission lines of an object, so they can no longer be distinguished.
Continuum spectrum: In this diagram, a dense hot object such as the core of a star acts like a black body radiator.
CONTINUUM - Smooth continuous spectrum without emission or absorption lines.
Continuum can refer to:* Continuum , anything that goes through a gradual transition from one condition, to a different condition, without any abrupt changes or "discontinuities"....

Radio Continuum Emission: Star-forming galaxies and galactic disks are copious emitters of centimeter-wavelength radio emission,much of which must be connected with star formation.
Continuum Emission
Just like visible light, with its range of energies from red to blue, X-rays have a continuum, or a range of energies associated with it. X-rays usually range in energy from around 0.5 keV up to around 1000 keV.

X-ray continuum emission. This can arise both from a jet and from the hot corona of the accretion disc via scattering processes: in both cases it shows a power-law spectrum.
A radio continuum feature (an HII region) centered on the Trapezium, and excited by 1 Ori C. The Orion A molecular cloud, which lies beyond it, is a rich source of molecules CO, OH, HCN, and probably NO, HCO, and H2CO have been observed. [H76] ...

There is a continuum of the metal abundance and orbit shapes. The oldest Population I stars have 0.1 times the metal abundance of the Sun and have slightly elliptical orbits that can take them up to 3000 light years from the disk plane.
continuous spectra (NASA Thesaurus) Spectra in which wavelengths, wave numbers, and frequencies are represented by the continuum of real numbers or a portion thereof, rather than by a discrete sequence of numbers.
A spectrum in which wavelengths, wave numbers, and frequencies are represented by the continuum of real numbers or a portion thereof, rather than by a discrete sequence of numbers. See discrete spectrum. 2.

Hence a continuum (thermal or blackbody) spectrum is produced. If the gas is rarefied, then the photon emitted from an individual atom will be able to escape from the gas without being altered and you will see the appropriate emission lines (Law 2).
Extragalactic radio sources are objects that emit a continuum of radio wavelengths and that lie beyond the confines of the Galaxy were divided in the 1950s into two classes depending on whether they present spatially extended or essentially ...
This radiation is at discrete frequencies instead of over a broad band, or continuum, of frequencies.

In the first half of the 20th century, the word Universe was used to mean the whole spacetime continuum in which we exist, together with all the energy and matter within it.
Strong ultraviolet continuum. B Blue 11,000 - 25,000 Neutral helium lines in absorption A Blue 7,500 - 11,000 Hydrogen lines at maximum strength for A0 stars, decreasing thereafter. F Blue/White 6,000 - 7,000 Metallic lines become noticeable.
Nature, of course, cares nothing about classification, and the truth is that there is a continuum of characteristics, circumstances, and probably cosmogonies to the objects out there.
ABSORPTION SPECTRUM - Spectrum consisting of dark absorption lines superimposed over a continuum spectrum, created when a cooler gas absorbs photons from a hotter continuum source.
The chart also illustrates that the sequence from instrument to high altitude turbulence creates a recognizable continuum in both temporal and optical appearance.
If some EM wave with continuum spectrum passes through some low pressure atoms (e.g. the outer atmosphere of a star), those atoms will absorb the light it likes and creates an absorption line.
The astronomers say that because they orbit so close to each other they are stirring up the space-time continuum, creating ripples known as gravitational waves, which carry away the stars' orbital energy, forcing them to spiral closer together.
The small bodies populate the solar system in vast numbers and include the rocky asteroids, or minor planets, the predominantly icy comets, and the fragments of these bodies—commonly called meteoroids—over a continuum of sizes down to ...
Kirchhoff's second law
A low-density gas will radiate an emission-line spectrum with an underlying emission continuum.
Kirchhoff's third law
Continuous radiation viewed through a low-density gas will produce an absorption-line spectrum.
Singly ionized helium lines (H I) either in emission or absorption. Strong UV continuum.

Flares are best seen in the H line, where the brightness may be 10 times that of the surrounding chromosphere, or 3 times that of the surrounding continuum.
In special relativity (and general relativity), an event is a point in the spacetime continuum, i.e. it has a position in space and time.
By contrast, a third category of matter-excited atoms, ions, and molecules-radiate at discrete wavelengths characteristic of the atom or molecule and the state of excitation. Wide-range radio emission is referred to as continuum emission, ...
A year later astronomer Gerard Kuiper suggested that some comet-like debris from the formation of the solar system should also be just beyond Neptune. In fact, he argued, it would be unusual not to find such a continuum of particles since this would ...
The right frame is composed of three images: two were taken through narrow band filters centered on regions of the spectrum where the gaseous methane in Jupiter's atmosphere absorbs light, and the third was taken in a red continuum region of the ...
The continuum opacity of the sun is provided by bound-free and free-free transitions of the hydrogen ion . This was proposed by R. Wildt in 1940, and shown to be quantum mechanically consistent with observations by Chandrasekhar in 1945.
