Consider a star with more brightness at 280 pc from the Sun. Suppose this star gets exploded as a supernova at a temperature of 18000 K. The absolute bolometric magnitude of this supernova is -12.24. Calculate its diameter by assuming a sphere at maximum light. (Assume the luminosity of Sun as 3.8×1026 W, the mass of the sun as 1.9 ×1030 kg, and surface temperature of Sun as 5778 K). (a) 1.7×108 km (6) 3.5x108 km (c) 5.2x108 km (d) 6.9 x108 km
