In this Feynman diagram, electrons annihilate and become a quark-antiquark pair. Then one radiates a gluon. (Time goes left to right.)

In particle physics, a radiative process refers to one elementary particle emitting another and continuing to exist. This typically happens when a fermion emits a boson such as a gluon or photon. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ... Properties The electron is a subatomic particle. ... Annihilation occurs when a particle collides with an antiparticle. ... Quarks are one of the two basic constituents of matter in the Standard Model of particle physics. ... This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedias deletion policy. ... The Gluon is the basic unit of Elmers Glue. ... Particles erupt from the collision point of two relativistic (100 GeV) gold ions in the STAR detector of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. ... In particle physics, an elementary particle is a particle of which other, larger particles are composed. ... Fermions, named after Enrico Fermi, are particles which form totally-antisymmetric composite quantum states. ... Bosons, named after Satyendra Nath Bose, are particles which form totally-symmetric composite quantum states. ... The Gluon is the basic unit of Elmers Glue. ... For the Science Fiction weapon, as seen in Star Trek, see Photon torpedo. ...

Sun - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article (3586 words)
Convective overshoot is thought to occur at the base of the convection zone, carrying turbulent downflows into the outer layers of the radiative zone.
The thermal columns in the convection zone form an imprint on the surface of the Sun, in the form of the solar granulation and supergranulation.
Sunlight — that is, light radiated from the surface of the Sun — is thought to be the main source of energy near the surface of Earth.
Stellar Winds (1506 words)
In hotter stars, the high radiative flux, drives the wind primarily by means of line scattering, which can be thought of as a transfer of momentum from the photons striking the atoms of gas.
In a static medium such scattering is confined to radiation with a photon energy near the energy difference between the levels, corresponding to a range of wavelengths near a distinct, line-centre value.
The outflow of radiation is unevenly distributed over the distorted surface, with the polar regions brighter and the equatorial regions dimmer than they would be if the star didn't rotate.
