Many of the bright stars in the night sky are highly luminous normal blue stars (such as Acrux), and others are blue giants (such as Rigel) or red giants (such as Betelgeuse). Generally, such stars have a luminosity of 103 to 105 times that of our Sun!Ignoring any effects from our atmosphere, how bright would a star with a luminosity of 60900 solar luminosities be if it were located 532 light years from Earth?(You will need to convert some values.)W/m²For comparison, if you were 1 meter from a regular 100 W light bulb, the brightness would be 7.96 W/m². (Since stars are not this bright, your answer should be considerably less!) Kind of amazing you can see these things, isn't it?

We will take a moment to compare how brightly a white dwarf star shines compared to a red giant star. For the sake of this probler, lets assume a white dwarf has a temperature around 10,000 K and a red giant has a temperature around 5,000 K. As for their stellar radii, the white dwarf has a radius about 1/100th that of the Sun and a red giant has a radius around 100 times larger than the Sun. With this in mind, how does the luminosity of a red giant star compare to that of a white dwarf (Hint: do not try to enter all of these numbers into the luminosity equation fit won't go well); instead, remember that you are only interested in the ratio between the two, so all common units and components can be divided out)? Please enter your answer in terms of the luminosity of the red giant divided by the luminosity of the white dwarf and round to two significant figures. Also, please avoid using commas in your answer.

We will take a moment to compare how brightly a white dwarf star shines compared to a red giant star. For the sake of this problem, lets assume a white dwarf has a temperature roughly twice as large as a red giant star. As for their stellar radii, the white dwarf has a radius about 1/10000th that of a red giant star. With this in mind, how does the luminosity of a red giant star compare to that of a white dwarf? (Put differently, find the ratio of their luminosities a.k.a. how many times more luminous is the red giant than the white dwarf? An answer of less than 1 means the white dwarf is more luminous, an answer of 1 means they have the same luminosity, and an answer greater than 1 means the red giant is more lu

A main sequence star of mass 25 M⊙has a luminosity of approximately 80,000 L⊙. a. At what rate DOES MASS VANISH as H is fused to He in the star’s core? Note: When we say “mass vanish '' what we really mean is “gets converted into energy and leaves the star as light”. Note: approximate answer: 3.55 E14 kg/s b. At what rate is H converted into He? To do this you need to take into account that for every kg of hydrogen burned, only 0.7% gets converted into energy while the rest turns into helium. Approximate answer = 5E16 kg/s c. Assuming that only the 10% of the star’s mass in the central regions will get hot enough for fusion, calculate the main sequence lifetime of the star. Put your answer in years, and compare it to the lifetime of the Sun. It should be much, much shorter. Approximate answer: 30 million years.
