The star HD 69830's mass is 1.7 ✕ 1030 kg, its radius is 6.3 ✕ 105 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 35 days. If HD 69830 should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 7.8 ✕ 103 km, what would its period (in s) be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model HD 69830 both before and after?
Assuming that at the end of the He burning phase of the stellar core (r < R_core) has no H or He or other metals and is composed completely of Carbon, X=Y=0, X_c = 1 ; The envelope above the core has a normal stellar composition ( r > R_core). Calculate the length of time in years that a 1M_sol and 10M_sol star will live on the horizontal branch or the time between the start and end of the He burning phase. Assume that the normal relationship between mass and luminosity holds for horizontal branch stars. Please be as detailed as possible
Suppose we represent an ordinary star as a uniform solid rigid sphere. The star’s initial radius is 644000 km (comparableto the size of our sun). After it collapses, forming a neutron star, its final radius is only 18.3 km! If the original starmakes one complete rotation about its axis once per month (every 30 days), find the neutron star’s period of rotationjust after the original star has collapsed.Tafter = (in s)

- A planetary nebula expanded in radius 0.3 arc seconds in 30 years. Doppler measurements show the nebula is expanding at a rate of 35 km/s. How far away is the nebula in parsecs? First, determine what distance the nebular expanded in parsecs during the time mentioned. Δd = vpc/sTs So we first need to convert the rate into pc/s and the time into seconds: vpc/s = vkm/s (1 pc / 3.09 x 1013km) vpc/s = ? Ts = (Tyr)(365 days/yr)(24 hrs/day)(3600 s/hr) Ts = ? s Δd= vpc/sTs Therefore, Δd = ? pcarrow_forward Q/ b) Vega Star of radius (1.6832) million km emit a) thermal radiation as a black body radiation at temperature of (18500 K).
