Calculate the velocity of a star moving relative to the earth if you observe a wavelength of 91.0 nm for ionized hydrogen capturing an electron directly into the lowest orbital (that is, a ni = ∞ to nf = 1 , or a Lyman series transition).
The temperature of the CMB today is T=2.725 K. Calculate the temperature of the CMB at redshift z=2000
The velocity curve for a double
spectroscopic binary is shown in the sketch.
The system is viewed edge-on, i.e., with an
inclination angle of i = 90°, so that the
maximum possible Doppler shifts for this
system are observed.

The density of a neutron star is roughly 10¹4 times as great as that of ordinary solid matter. Suppose we represent the star as a uniform, solid, rigid sphere, both before and after the collapse. The star's initial radius was 7.0×105 km (comparable to our sun); its final radius is 18 km.arrow_forwardWhat is the heaviest element likely to be produced in fusion processes in stars?arrow_forward
- Consider a star whose density increases toward its center. If we model this star as a series of concentric shells (each shell having its own uniform density), then the equation of mass continuity relates the mass in each shell to the density and volume of the shell. The star has the following two regimes: Core: ⍴r = ⍴0 from r = 0 to r = r0 Envelope: ⍴r = ⍴0(r/r0)-2 from r = r0 to r = R Integrate the equation of mass continuity (see provided image) over the appropriate ranges to find expressions for the masses in the core and in the envelope.
