radii

As the atomic numbers of these lanthanides increase, the radii of their ions decrease.

"As an example, the masses and radii of all nuclei up to mass number 50 were calculated -- and the results agree with the measurements," reports Meißner, who is also a member of the Transdisciplinary Research Areas "Modeling" and "Matter" at the University of Bonn.

As an example, the masses and radii of all nuclei up to mass number 50 were calculated using this method.

The mission is approaching its 19th perihelion on March 30, 2024 at a distance of 11.5 solar radii from Sun center.

PSP uses a series of Venus flyby's to gradually reduce its perihelion from 36 solar radii in 2018 to 9.5 in 2025.
