- Which of the following is wrong? A. Tidal effects in a binary star system become more important when one or both stars become giant stars. B. There is no fusion occurring in the core of a low-mass red giant star. C. Gold (the element) is produced during the supernova explosions of high-mass stars. D. Suppose the star Betelgeuse were to become a supernova tomorrow, we'd see by naked eyes a cloud of gas expanding away from the position where Betelgeuse used to be. Over a period of a few weeks, this cloud would fill a large part of our sky.arrow_forwardIf a stellar remnant is in between 0.4 and 1.4 solar masses, the resulting object will be a a. brown dwarf. b. red dwarf. c. white dwarf. d. neutron star. e. black hole.arrow_forward3. Brown dwarfs are ____. a. stars with a very thick dust sphere around them, so they appear “brown” b. low mass M type stars with hundreds of planets c. an anomaly because they are extremely small but have relatively high temperature d. protostars that could not ignite the fusion of hydrogen at their core e. has a surface temperature of 2500 K by fusing hydrogen I asked this question onece already, but the answer I got said the answer was C because "AT 2700K THEY ARE HOT" or something to that effect. I tried to find a way to reply to that thread. My argument was that even if brown dwarfs were 2700k (and my book says that's closer to the temperature of red dwarfs and that brown dwarfs are usually around 1000K). Seeing that we are studying the life cycle and evolution of all stars, wouldn't either of those temperatures be on the relatively COOL side of all star temperatures? Wouldn't the most appropriate answer be D.?arrow_forward
