Question

If interstellar dust makes an RR Lyrae variable star look 7 magnitudes fainter than the star should, by how much will you over- or underestimate its distance? (*Hint: Use the magnitude-distance formula \( d = 10^{(m_V - M_V + 5)/5} \).)

\[
\frac{d_{\text{estimate}}}{d_{\text{actual}}} = \text{[input box]}
\]

Is your calculated value an over- or underestimate?

- ○ overestimate
- ○ underestimate

If an open cluster contains 350 stars and is 48 pc in diameter, what is the average distance between the stars? On average what, share of the volume of the cluster surrounds each star?
Cluster Sizes. An open cluster is a collection of 10 to 1000 stars in a region about 25 pc in diameter. About how far apart are the stars in an open cluster in units of pc? (Hints: What share of the cluster's volume belongs to a single 4 Tr. Use the cited value for the maximum number of stars in your calculation.) star? The volume of a sphere is pc.
Match each characteristic below of a one-solar-mass star to its appropriate phase. Answer M for Main-sequence Star, or P for Protostar. If the first is M and the rest P, enterMPPPPPP).

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.
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.
