Description Rinse De Vries 2004-02-01 00:59:58 UTC

Version:           1.0 (using KDE 3.2.0 RC1, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-166-athlon

Hi, look at string 19 and 20 of kstars_blackbody.po:

"Five years later, Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzman derived the 
same equation and is now known as the Stephan-Boltzman law. If we 
assume a spherical star with radius R, then the luminosity of such a 
star is"

"where R is the star radius in cm, and the alpha is the Stephan-
Boltzman constant, which has the value:"

The law is named after Stephan Josef Stefan and Ludwich Boltzman. 
So the law should be named Stefan-Boltzman, not Stephan-Boltzman

Rinse

73930: Misspelled "Wien's Law"

73931: Incomplete phrase:  actually, this phrase is not incomplete.  If 
you look at the handbook, you'll see that the last part of the sentence 
is an equation presented as an image in the document.  However, to make 
the sentence a bit clearer, I have changed it to:  "For example, the 
sun has an average temperature of 5800 K, so its wavelength of maximum 
emission is given by:"

73932: Misspelled "Stefan-Boltzmann Law"
