- As we read in the book, a star that appears to be 1 magnitude brighter will have approximately 2.5 times as much flux hitting an observer's detector/telescope/eye (i.e. a star with an apparent magnitude of 4 has approximately 2.5 times more flux hitting the detector as a star with an apparent magnitude of 5). With this in mind what is the approximate ratio of the flux hitting the a detector for a star with an apparent magnitude of 3 compared to a star with an apparent magnitude of 7? (hint: remember that magnitudes follow a logarithmic scale, not a linear one)Stellar Classification and H-R Diagram Placement (40 points available). a. Where is your star located on the H-R diagram (luminosity class/region of the diagram, spectral class, luminosity/brightness)? How does this compare to that of The sun ? Discuss the inferences of the specific placement and stellar classification of your star with respect to mass, size/radius, color/temperature, composition? c. Discuss how this placement on the diagram relates to the star’s observed stage of evolution, previous evolution, and expected future evolutionary path. How does this compare to that of the Sun? d. What is the estimated total lifespan of your star and what is the estimated age of your star right now? How does this compare to that of the Sun? All of them is about Lutyen star .None
- The H-R diagram is the most important graph in astronomy. One of the reasons that this graph is so powerful is the number of different kinds of data it shows. Most graphs show two types of data. The H-R diagram shows seven. Can you name these 7 types of information about stars that appear on the H-R diagram?Star's apparent position Star Star Sun Deflected path Earth EarthState the definition for a parsec, and derive its value in terms of As- tronomical Units. Convert your answer for the value of the distance of a parsec in Astronomical Units into light years. Be sure to include a large and clearly labeled diagram showing how you arrived at your conclusions. Be sure to show all work!

Six stages are numbered. Six stages of stellar evolution are listed below – for each stage, write the number corresponding to its position on the diagram (four of these stages are the same stages you considered in the first part of this tutorial).
