- The lowest mass for a true star is 1/12 the mass of the sun. What is the luminosity of this star (in units of the sun’s luminosity) based upon mass luminosity relationship? Use the exponent of 4 for easy calculations instead of 3.9You observe a star with a telescope over the course of a year. You find that this star has a flux that is one-trillionth of the Sun's flux. You also observe a parallax shift for this star of 0.023 arcseconds. What is the luminosity of this star as a multiple of the Sun's luminosity L⊙.If an X-ray binary consists of a 16 solar mass star and a neutron Star orbiting each other every 15.4 days, what is their average separation? (Hint: Use the version of Keller's third law for binary stars, Ma + Mb = a^3 /p^2 ; make sure you express quantities in unites of AU, solar masses, and years. Assume the mass of a neutron Star is 1.6 solar masses.) ___________ AU
- 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.Consider two stars on the main sequence, A and B. Star A has a mass of 4 M⊙. Star B has a mass of 0.8 M⊙. By what factor is the luminosity of star A greater than the luminosity of star B?
