- Give ALL correct answers referring to the properties of known stars, i.e., B, AC, BCD... A) On the main sequence, more massive stars are colder. B) High mass stars are the most numerous type of stars observed in the galaxy. C) Giants are colder than main sequence stars at the same luminosity. D) Giants are brighter than dwarfs at the same temperature. E) On the main sequence, more massive stars are dimmer. F) White dwarf stars are much denser than main sequence stars. Hint: White dwarf stars have about the mass of our sun, but are only the size of the Earth. Therefore, they have a very high density.Shown are three main sequence stars. Each one is a different size, but the color is not shown. Rank from longest to shortest the total amount of time it was a protostar before it was a main sequence star. A ? O Longest AC B Shortest O Longest BCA Shortest O Longest A B C Shortest B ? ? C All the stars would be a protostar for the same amount of timeA 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.
- Match each statement with the appropriate item (If the first corresponds to B and the next 4 to C, enter BCCCC) 1) stars that have evolved off the main sequence and are growing in luminosity due to a hydrogen burning shell 2) young, spread out star cluster 3) cooler stars in a cluster that have not yet evolved off the main sequence 4) stars that are burning helium in their core 5) old, dense star cluster A. red-giant branch B. open cluster C. lower main sequence D. horizontal branch stars E. globular clusterList the following 5 terms in order through a stars life cycle (starting with the sun), through the remainder of its lifetime: a. Black dwarf b. Planetary nebula c. Red giant d. Star (Sun) e. White dwarfMatch 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). A) energy generated by nuclear fusion B) pressure and gravity are NOT precisely balanced. C) surface radiates energy at same rate that core generates energy D) radius much larger than the Sun E) energy generated by gravitational contraction F) lasts about 10 billion years G) luminosity much greater than the Sun
- Match each characteristic below to the appropriate stellar end state. (Select W-White dwarf, N-Neutron star, B-Black hole. If the first is W and the rest N, enter WNNNNNNN). A) Has a mass no greater than 1.4 solar-masses. B) Sometimes appears as a pulsar. C) Size defined by its Schwarzschild radius. D) In a binary system it can explode as a supernova. E) Supported by electron degeneracy pressure. F) Typically about the size of Earth. G) Usually has a very strong magnetic field. H) Viewed from afar, time stops at its event horizon. Answer: Submit All AnswersIdentify the location in the H-R diagram of the phases of stellar evolution. (For each statement select the proper symbol in the picture.) 1) red giant, helium flash2) white dwarf3) red giant with helium burning shell4) hydrogen fusion in shell around core5) helium fusion in core6) envelope ejected, planetary nebula7) main-sequence star8) helium used up, core collapses9) hydrogen used up, core collapsesWhich of the following most correctly explains why we have not yet observed any white dwarfs derived from M stars: Group of answer choices Most M stars end up as neutron stars or black holes. The lifetime of M stars is longer than the age of the universe. Most M stars are located near the edge of the universe, beyond the visible horizon. Most M stars are members of a binary system, and the white dwarf would be obscured by the glare of the more massive companion. White dwarfs are too dim to be observed with currently available techniques.
