- We observe a star that is dstar away. How much extinction would there need to be (i.e., what must tau(τ) be) if we had ignored intervening dust, and concluded that it was actually 2*dstar away? Value: dstar = 850 pcHow much energy would be released if a star with a mass of 25 Msun and a radius of 10 Rsun detonates as a supernova explosion in 1 second? (Hint: think about the definition of binding energy). Express your answer in terms of solar luminosities.Comment on the difference between a nova and supernova. [Note: There are two basic types of supernova.]
- (Astronomy) PSR1913+16 Problem II. Using only the Figure, what are the maximum radial velocities as found from the redshift and blueshift, respectively? Note: redshifts have positive radial velocities values in the figure, whereas blueshifts have negative radial velocity values. (Answer in km/s)A supernova’s energy is often compared to the total energy output of the Sun over its lifetime. Using the Sun’s current luminosity, calculate the total solar energy output, assuming a 1010 year main-sequence lifetime. Using Einstein’s formula E=mc2 calculate the equivalent amount of mass, expressed in Earth masses. [Hint: The total energy output of the Sun over its lifetime is given by its current luminosity times the number of seconds in a year times its ten billion-year lifetime; ; mass of earth = 6×1024kg; c = 3×108m/s. Your answer should be 200-300 Earth masses.]if a star is converted every bit of its mass. into energy the conversion efficiency would be 100%. however no star is this efficient in its energy production stars with less than 1.3 solar masses convert hydrogen into helium with an efficiency of only 0.7%. besring in mind that aldebaram has a mass of 2.32*10^30 kg. how long will it live if it converts all of its hydrogen into helium with an efficiency of 0.7%. 1 year = 365.25 days. lifetime= years
