Using the Mass-Luminosity relationship, estimate the luminosities for each of the following stars:
- 25 MSun star
- 2.5 MSun star
- 0.25 MSun star
Homework Answers
luminosity is proportional to 3.5 times of mass so if mass of
main sequence star is 2 times the mass of sun then luminosity will
be 11.31 of sun.luminosity of sun is 3.83*10^26.
(a)if mass is 25 M sun then luminosity is 78125*luminosity of sun,
78125*3.846*10^26 = 3.0047e31
(b)if mass is 2.5 M sun then luminosity is 24.70*luminosity of sun,
24.7*3.846*10^26 = 9.5*e27
(c)if mass is 0.25 M sun then luminosity is 0.0078125*luminosity of
sun, 0.0078125*3.846*10^26 = 3e24

A White Dwarf star has a luminosity L = 0.01 Lo (where Lo is one solar luminosity) and an effective temperature of T = 16,000 K. Using this information: (i) Estimate the radius of this star. (ii) Given that the mass of this star is 1 Mo (where Mo is one solar mass), estimate the its average density. (iii) Calculate the internal temperature of the star, T_int and show that the electrons are mostly degenerate. (iv) When a carbon White...

Estimate the luminosity and
temperature of the star Vega by examining its vertical and
horizontal position in the H-R diagram . (Hint: You should make an
estimate of these values by interpolating between the values marked
on each axis). Using the values you estimated, determine the size
of Vega as compared to the Sun using the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

A binary star system has two stars, each with the same mass as our sun, separated by 1.50×1012 m . A comet is very far away and essentially at rest. Slowly but surely, gravity pulls the comet toward the stars. Suppose the comet travels along a straight line that passes through the midpoint between the two stars. What is the speed at the comet's midpoint?
