(a) The figure shows the three stars and their velocities. Which star has the largest proper motion? Which star has the smallest proper motion? A B Earth
If a star has a parallax of 0.050 arc second, what is its distance in pc?
Question A1 Use a diagram to explain what is meant by the parallax angle, p, for a star observed twice from Earth, with a 6-month interval between each observation. Hence define the parsec, and calculate its value in astronomical units and metres. The star Betelgeuse is observed to have a parallax angle p = 4.5 x 10-³ arcseconds. State the distance of Betelgeuse in units of parsecs and light years.
Studying the spectrum of a star, we see that the Haline (l= 656.285nm) has been shifted to 656.286 nm. Is the star moving towards us or away (explain your answer) How fast is the star moving with respect to us?
Can someone help with this?
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.
