- The time it takes for a cloud 106,000 AU in radius to collapse in "free-tall to form a new star is half the time it would take for an object to orbit the star on an extremely elliptical orbit with a semimajor axis of 53,000 AU (half the 106.000 AU radius). Part A Use Kepler's third law to find the collapse time, assuming the star has the same mass as the Sun. Express your answer in years to two significant figures.

- Please Explain The hotness of stars goes up to millions of degrees Celsius. The coldness of gases can go as low as -273.15 o C. How do you explain the absence of symmetry between hot and cold? Is it possible that there is also a limit to the hotness of any object in the universe? Show your step-by-step solutions.arrow_forwardMatch each characteristic below to the appropriate stellar end state. (Select W-White dwarf, N-Neutron star, B-Black hole. If the first is W and the rest N, enter WNNNNNNN). A) Has a mass no greater than 1.4 solar-masses. B) Sometimes appears as a pulsar. C) Size defined by its Schwarzschild radius. D) In a binary system it can explode as a supernova. E) Supported by electron degeneracy pressure. F) Typically about the size of Earth. G) Usually has a very strong magnetic field.

- Choose the correct statements from the following list referring to white dwarfs. (Give ALL correct answers, i.e., B, AC, BCD...) A) The pressure that balances gravity in a white dwarf is called degenerate electron pressure. B) The power source of white dwarfs is left-over heat. C) White dwarfs cool slowly because they are small and eventually fade-out to become black dwarfs. D) White dwarfs with mass greater than 1.4 times the Sun's mass cannot exist. E) Stars with a mass like the Sun will end up as a white dwarf star. F) White dwarfs are less dense than red giants. G) White dwarfs are the coolest main sequence stars.arrow_forwardPlease solve all three sub-parts accurate and exact.

- Which of the following most correctly explains why we have not yet observed any white dwarfs derived from M stars: Group of answer choices Most M stars end up as neutron stars or black holes. The lifetime of M stars is longer than the age of the universe. Most M stars are located near the edge of the universe, beyond the visible horizon. Most M stars are members of a binary system, and the white dwarf would be obscured by the glare of the more massive companion. White dwarfs are too dim to be observed with currently available techniques.arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku Q: You’ve just discovered another new X-ray binary, which we will call Hyp-X2 (“Hyp” for hypothetical). The system Hyp-X2 contains a bright, G2 main-sequence star orbiting an unseen companion. The separation of the stars is estimated to be 12 million kilometers, and the orbital period of the visible star is 5 days. Use Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law to calculate the sum of the masses of the two stars in the system. a)Express your answer in kilograms to two significant figures. b) Give your answer from the previous part in solar masses. ( Msun= 2.0 x 10 /30 kg). Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures. C) Determine the mass of the unseen companion. ( Hint: A G2 main-sequence star has a mass of 1 Msun.) Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures.
