An O star has a temperature of 20,000 K and a radius 10 x that of the Sun. How much more luminous is the O star than the Sun? At what distance would the O star have to be placed to appear to be the same brightness as the Sun. Express your answer in AU and light-years.
3. [9 marks] You have access to a small professional telescope that is able to record the ultraviolet through infrared spectrum of a star in the constellation of Orion. You determine that the wavelength of light at the peak of the spectrum is 922.93 nm. The star’s apparent magnitude is m = 0.45. a) [2 marks] Determine the star’s surface temperature in units of Kelvin (K). b) [3 marks] Using the solar constant and the Sun’s apparent magnitude, determine the...
If one star has a temperature of 5100 K and another star has a temperature of 7709 K, how much more energy per second will the hotter star radiate from each square meter of its surface?
The surface of the Sun has a temperature of 5500 ∘C. Treat the sun as a perfect blackbody with an emissivity of 1.0 and a radius of 7.0*10^8 m. Given; the temperature of space is 3.0K and the power that it takes for the sun to radiate into space is 3.9 * 10^26 W. The solar constant is the number of watts of sunlight power falling on a square meter of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Calculate the solar constant given...
Imagine a hypothetical star of radius R, whose mass density ρ is constant throughout the star. The star is composed of a classical ideal gas of ionized hydrogen, so there are free protons and free electrons flying around providing the pressure support. The star is in hydrostatic equilibrium (a) What is the pressure as a function of radius in the star, P(r)? As a boundary condition, the pressure at the surface should be zero, P(R) 0 (b) What is the...
Scientists have meaured that at a distance of 1 AU from star X energy of radiation passing through 1 square meter is 1200 Joules per second. Scientists have taken the same equipment to the distance of 2 AU from the same star X. At that distance the energy passing through 1 square meter is equal to A. 2400 Joules per second B. same as before, 1200 Joules per second C. 300 Joules per second D. 600 Joules per second E....
Cart mr 6- A planet of mass m and radius r orbits a star at a distance R (between their centres) with an angular velocity Wort = 2 rad/s. The planet also rotates around its own axis with an angular velocity of spin = 10 rad/s. The mass of the star is M-1000m. The moment of Star -R 00 inertia of a solid sphere is I = 2 mr 2- Calculate the total angular momentum L of the planet in...
