A 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.
Consider a Schechter luminosity function of the form where a = 0.9, ΦΣ = -0 (L)dL = D(+) L e-(L/Lx)dL, L 0.012h3 Mpc3 and L - 1010h Lo. Calculate the total number density. Express the final answer in terms of h where h = Ho/(100 km s−¹Mpc¯¹) (Ho is the Hubble constant).
Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?
Assume that the mass of the core of a star that just went Supernova type II is $2.5 \mathrm{M}_{\odot}$ before and after the collapse, while the Radius changes from $10^3 \mathrm{~km}$, before the collapse, to 12 km , after the collapse respectively.(a) What is the change in potential energy of the core between the two stages before and after the collapse?(b) Knowing that the luminosity of the Sun is $4 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{~W}$ how many years would it take the Sun to release the same amount of energy?
(Astronomy) PSR1913+16 Problem I. Are the two stars in PSR 1913+16 pulsars, neutron stars, or a combination of the two?
Calculate the gravitational redshift of radiation of wavelength 550 nm that is emitted from a neutron star having a mass of 5.8 x 1030 kg and a radius of 10 km. Assume that the radiation is being detected far from the neutron star.
What evidence can you cite that pulsars are neutron stars?
2) How does the mean density of a 1.5 Mo neutron star compare to a carbon nucleus? Assume the carbon nucleus has a radius r=3 x 10–15 m.
If a circular accretion disk around a 1.4 M, neutron star has a radius of 1.00 x 105 km as measured from the center of the neutron star to the edge of the disk, what is the orbital velocity (in km/s) of a gas particle located at its outer edge? (The mass of the Sun is GM 1.99 x 1030 kg. Hint: Use the circular orbit velocity formula, V, = ; make sure to express quantities in units of meters, kilograms, and seconds.) km/s
