dex

Etymology 1

Contraction of decimal exponent.

Noun

dex (plural dexes)

      The data points for low-<nH> paths are scattered more widely than those for denser sight lines, because O/H ratios for such paths shorter than 800 pc are generally about 0.10 dex lower than the values for longer ones.
Usage notes

Used both to refer to the function d e x ( x ) = 10 x {\displaystyle \mathrm {dex} (x)=10^{x}} and the number of (possibly fractional) orders of magnitude separating two numbers. log 10 ⁡ ( 5 ) ≈ 0.70 {\displaystyle \log _{10}(5)\approx 0.70} and log 10 ⁡ ( 8 ) ≈ 0.90 {\displaystyle \log _{10}(8)\approx 0.90} , so the ratio of 8 to 5 is about 0.20 dex.
