Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

The lowest mass for a true star is 1/12 the mass of the Sun. What is the luminosity of such a star based upon the mass-luminosity relationship?
= A star population is composed of stars with masses in the range between 1M and 150M. The initial mass function is = 0 (M/M)-2.3, where o (Mo). The luminosity of a star = (M/M) 3.3. Calculate the percentage of the total luminosity of the stars in the population which is produced by stars with mass between 120M and 150M. scales with its mass as L/L
The apparent magnitude of a star is observed to vary between m = +0.4 and m = +0.1 because the star pulsates and hence continuously changes its radius and temperature. When at its peak brightness, the star’s radius has increased by a factor of two compared to its value at the mini- mum brightness. Determine the value of T+/T−, where T+ is the temperature when the star is at its peak brightness and T− is the temperature when the star is at it minimum brightness. Note: we expect T+/T− < 1 because the star’s temperature decreases as its radius increases.

Using solar units, we find that a star has 4 times the luminosity of the Sun, a mass 1.25 times the mass of the Sun, and a surface temperature of 4090 K (take the Sun's surface temperature to be 5784 K for the sake of this problem). This means the star has a radius of.................... solar radii and is a .................... star (use the classification).
