A 46M Sun main sequence star loses 1 Msun of mass over 105 years. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations including answers submitted in WebAssign.) How many solar masses did it lose in a year? By how much will its luminosity decrease if this mass loss continues over 0.8 million years? Due to the nature of this problem, for all parts, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign. To determine the number of solar masses lost per year, divide the mass lost by the number of years over which it was lost. Mlost tlost-yr Part 1 of 3 dM = dM = MSun/yr

Shown are three main sequence stars. Each one is a different size, but the color is not shown. Rank from longest to shortest the total amount of time it was a protostar before it was a main sequence star. A ? O Longest AC B Shortest O Longest BCA Shortest O Longest A B C Shortest B ? ? C All the stars would be a protostar for the same amount of time

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) 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. Compare this to the lifetime of a A0 star listed in Table 22.1 (computed using a more sophisticated approach). Is the value you calculated in the previous problem longer or shorter than what is reported in the table? (L for longer, S for shorter) (You only get one try at this problem.)
