Schwarzschild criterion for convective stability in stars
E1091376
UNEXPLORED
The Schwarzschild criterion for convective stability in stars is a condition in stellar astrophysics that determines whether a layer inside a star will remain stable against convection based on how its temperature gradient compares to the adiabatic gradient.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14311008 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
