Question 11 8 pts An astronomer plots the H-R diagram of a star cluster and finds that it contains hot B and A- type stars on the main sequence and cooler K- and M-type stars noticeably above the main sequence. This cluster is ○ very young, because the K and M stars are still evolving toward the main sequence. O impossible, because one cannot have cool stars above the main sequence when hotter stars are on the main sequence. ○ of indeterminate age, because one cannot estimate the age of the cluster from the information given. ○ old, because the K and M stars are already evolving off (away from) the main sequence.

An astronomer plots the H-R diagram of a star cluster and finds that it contains hot B and A-
type stars on the main sequence and cooler K- and M-type stars noticeably above the main
sequence. This cluster is
○ very young, because the K and M stars are still evolving toward the main sequence.
O impossible, because one cannot have cool stars above the main sequence when hotter stars are on the
main sequence.
○ of indeterminate age, because one cannot estimate the age of the cluster from the information given.
○ old, because the K and M stars are already evolving off (away from) the main sequence.
