- f a star has a luminosity of 4*10^26 Watts and a brightness of 1.4*10^3W/m2, how far away is it?Question A4 a) A star has a temperature T = 15000K, mass M = 0.25M and luminosity L = 0.02L. Sketch the position of this star on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram relative to the main sequence. b) Using the given properties of the star, derive expressions for the star's radius R and mean density p. Calculate values for these in units of R. and kg m-³, respectively. c) Starting from the equation for hydrostatic equilibrium, derive an approximate expression for the central pressure Pc of the star in terms of its density p and radius R, assuming uniform ρ density. d) Assuming that the star is made of ordinary gas material such as the Sun, calculate an estimate of the central temperature of the star. From this value and the luminosity, briefly explain what can be inferred about the nuclear processes in the star. Discuss very briefly why your estimate for the central temperature may be too large.Suppose a protostar has a luminosity of 39,473 L⊙ and a surface temperature of 4,130 K (Kelvins). What is the radius of this protostar? [Enter your answer as a multiple of the Sun's radius. I.e., if you find R = 20 R⊙ , enter 20. This problem is easier if you start with the relevant equation and create a ratio using the Sun's values. Recall that the Sun has a surface temperature of 5778 K. ]
- A cepheid star is located at a distance of 24.8kpc from the Earth and has an apparent visual magnitude of 13.3. Determine its pulsation period in days. Consider the following expression of the Leavitt relation My -2.78 log Pdays - 1.35, where My is the absolute visual magnitude and Pdays the pulsation period in days to 2 decimal places.The a star system contains two stars, one with apparent magnitude m = 10.5 and the other with m = 10.9. What is the combined apparent magnitude of the two stars?Calculate the main-sequence lifetimes of (a) a 4 ?⨀ star, and (b) a 0.75 ?⨀ star. Express the lifetimes of these stars as multiples of the Sun’s lifetime (?⨀ =1010 years), as well as in units of years.
- A star with spectral type A0 has a surface temperature of 9600 K and a radius of 2.2 RSun. How many times more luminous is this star than the Sun? (if it is less luminous enter a number less than one) 36.854 This star has a mass of 3.3 MSun. Using the simple approximation that we made in class, what is the main sequence lifetime of this star? You may assume that the lifetime of the sun is 1010 yr.(Answer don't copy with hand written please)As a star runs out of hydrogen to fuel nuclear fusion in its core, changes within the star usually cause it to leave the main sequence, expanding and cooling as it does so. Would a star with a radius 12 times that of the Sun, but a surface temperature 0.5 times that of the Sun, be more, or less luminous than the Sun? Show and explain your reasoning. You may assume the surface area of a sphere is A = 4πr2.
