This Gaussian/SI conversion sheet is adapted from a handout given in Dr. Jim Weatherall 's Phys 425: Advanced Astrophysics I course at New Mexico Tech during Fall Semester 1997.
The general form of the conversions is:
where the kappa is given in the table below. The other quantities are
defined below the table.
