Zams

Zams is a municipality in the district of Landeck in the Austrian state of Tyrol.

Geography

It is situated in a river basin together with its neighbour town Landeck near the rivers Inn and Sanna. The geographical location is 47°28′N 10°22′E / 47.467°N 10.367°E / 47.467; 10.367. Here, the old roads coming from Vinschgau, Engadin, Bavaria and Lake Constance cross.

The free-standing church tower is a notable feature of the town. In 1911, a fire burned half the village to ash and destroyed much of the old man-made structures. The tower remained, and the church was established about fifty meters away.

Main sequence

In astronomy, the main sequence is a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appears on plots of stellar color versus brightness. These color-magnitude plots are known as Hertzsprung–Russell diagrams after their co-developers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell. Stars on this band are known as main-sequence stars or "dwarf" stars.

After a star has formed, it generates thermal energy in the dense core region through the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. During this stage of the star's lifetime, it is located along the main sequence at a position determined primarily by its mass, but also based upon its chemical composition and other factors. All main-sequence stars are in hydrostatic equilibrium, where outward thermal pressure from the hot core is balanced by the inward pressure of gravitational collapse from the overlying layers. The strong dependence of the rate of energy generation in the core on the temperature and pressure helps to sustain this balance. Energy generated at the core makes its way to the surface and is radiated away at the photosphere. The energy is carried by either radiation or convection, with the latter occurring in regions with steeper temperature gradients, higher opacity or both.
