Compact binary stars A binary star system which is composed of a collapsed object (degenerate dwarf, neutron star, or black hole) in orbit with a low-mass (≤ 0.5 M_sol) secondary star, wherein the collapsed star accretes matter from its companion. These two objects form a binary system of overall dimensions 10^6 km with an orbital period of only hours or less. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

Compacted ice edge Sea ice terminology that describes a clear-cut ice edge that is compacted by wind or current, usually on the windward side of an area of ice. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Compacted ice edge Close, clear-cut ice edge compacted by wind or current; usually on the windward side of an area of pack ice. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Compact galaxies A galaxy with no disk or nebulous background and a high surface brightness that appears only barely larger than a star-like point on a sky survey photograph. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Compact H II region A Galactic H II region with an electron density ≥ 10^3 cm^-3 and of a linear dimension ≤ 1 pc. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Compact ice Sea ice terminology that describes floating ice that has a concentration of 10/10, and no water is visible. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Compacting Sea ice terminology that describes an increase in ice concentration and/or a stress which may result in ice deformation (i.e. The ice becoming warped). GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Compacting Pieces of floating ice are considered to be compacting when they are subjected to a converging motion, which increases ice concentration and/or produces stresses that may result in ice deformation. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
