gamow
George Gamow was a renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist, often remembered for his significant work on the Big Bang theory as well as contributions to quantum mechanics and nuclear physics. However, in a broader context, 'Gamow' is associated with 'Gamow factor' or 'Gamow window', concepts used in nuclear physics related to quantum tunneling and nuclear reaction rates. His name is also used in the 'Alpher–Bethe–Gamow paper', one of the landmark papers about the Big Bang theory. Therefore, 'Gamow' doesn't have a fixed definition per se, but rather references to the scientific work and concepts associated with George Gamow.

Gamow
Gamow is a large lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located in the northern hemisphere, to the southeast of the walled plain Schwarzschild. This is a worn and eroded feature, with a rim that has been battered and overlain by multiple impacts. Gamow V is attached to the western exterior, and the joined crater pair Gamow A and Gamow B overlie the northeastern side. The eastern rim is the most damaged section, while the rim to the west is free from impacts. The western inner wall does display a fine radial groove texture, but is otherwise nearly featureless. Near the midpoint is a palimpsest, or ghost-crater feature consisting of just the rim projecting up through the otherwise relatively level surface.
