Question
Transcribed Image Text:Luminosity (see right axis of HR Diagram) can be thought of as the
rate at which stars burn up the fuel available to them.
As in the above questions, GX Andromeda is a M2 main sequence
star with an absolute magnitude M = 10. Achernar is a B3 main
sequence star with an absolute magnitude M = -3. Denebola is an A3
main sequence stars with an absolute magnitude of M = 2.
Which star converts the smallest amount of Hydrogen to Helium
every second?
GX Andromeda (M2 V)
Achernar (B3 V)
Denebola (A3 V)
