S stars A red giant of spectral type S whose spectrum is dominated by molecular bands arising from zirconium oxide (ZrO). S stars also have strong cyanogen bands and contain spectral lines of lithium and tech netium. Almost all S stars are long-period variables. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

stable The characteristic of a system if sufficiently small disturbances have only small effects, either decreasing in amplitude or oscillating periodically; it is asymptotically stable if the effect of smal l disturbances vanishes for long time periods. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

Stack High and precipitous detached rock near shore. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
stack effect An effect due to heat sources within a local exhaust enclosure (stack) producing convective air currents with vertical velocities proportional to the rate of heat transferred to the surrounding air an d to the height of rise of the heated air. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
