Star A has a temperature of 6,000 K. How much energy per second (in J/s/m²) does it radiate onto a square meter of its surface? If the temperature of Star A decreases by a factor of 2, the energy will decrease by a factor of Star B has a temperature that is 5 times higher than Star A. How much more energy per second (compared to Star A) does it radiate onto a square meter of its surface?

12. A star with spectral type MO has a surface temperature of 3750 K and a radius of 0.63 Rsun: How many times more luminous is this star than the Sun? (if it is less luminous enter a number less than one) Answer: Submit All Answers Last Answer: 0.0923 Incorrect, tries 1/5. Hint: Use the Luminosity equation, which says that L is proportional to R^2 T^4. If you keep these as ratios compared to the sun, your L will also come out as a ratio compared to the Sun. This star has a mass of 0.4 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. Answer: Submit All Answers Compare this to the lifetime of a MO 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.)

If the stars Betelgeuse and Rigel each have the same luminosity, but the temperature of Betelgeuse is lower than Rigel, which star has the greater surface area? O A. Betelgeuse B. Rigel O C. They are the same size. OD. There is insufficient information to answer this question.
The total luminosity of the Sun is 4e26 Watts.a) What is the mass (in kg) that the Sun loses each second due to the conversion of nuclearbinding energy into radiation?b) The Sun has a total mass of 2e30kg and will live for 1e10 years. What fraction of theSun’s mass will be consumed in its lifetime due to nuclear fusion? Don’t forget that Wattsare measured in seconds.c) One of the interactions that takes place in the Sun’s core is the production of Deuterium.Two protons come together and one converts into a neutron. The mass of each proton is938.27209 MeV/c2. The mass of the deuteron is 1875.61294 MeV. How much energy isreleased during this process?d) During this process, the new nucleus releases two other particles. The initial particles,two protons, each have a quantum spin of +1/2 and an electric charge of +1. Now you havea proton, a neutron, a particle X, and particle Y. If the particle X has no electric charge,what is the electric charge of particle Y? If particle Y has a spin of…

Problem 4. Stellar Temperature, Color, and Size a) (Palen, et. al., 2nd, Problem 45) Rigel has a Hipparcos parallax of 0.00412 arcsec. Given Rigel and Betelgeuse appear almost equally bright in the sky, i) which star is actually more luminous? ii) Betelgeuse appears reddish while Rigel appears bluish white. Which star is larger and why? b) (Palen, et. al., 2nd, Problem 46) Sirius is actually a binary pair of two A-type stars. The brighter and fainter of the pair is called the Dog Star and Pup Star, respectively (they are in the constellation Canis Major). The Dog Star is 6,000 times brighter than the Pup Star even though both stars are the same distance from us. Compare the i) temperature ii) luminosities iii) sizes (radii) of these two stars.
