- What is the escape velocity (in km/s) from the surface of a 1.1 M neutron star? From a 3.0 M neutron star?The figure above shows a track on the H-R diagram corresponding to the evolution of a star like the one you’ve just considered. 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). Horizontal branch: Asymptotic giant branch: White dwarf: Main sequence: Planetary nebula: Red giant branch: What is the approximate mass of this star, in solar masses? Explain how you can tell.What are the main products of the fusion reactions that take place in low mass main sequence stars?
