1. A star on the main sequence has a surface temperature of10,000 K. Use the H-R diagram to determine it’s luminosity(approximately) and then calculate it’s mass and age (you mayuse solar units). If it were a red giant, could we do this?
A solar type star evolves into a red giant with a luminosity 1000 L⊙ and radius of 1 AU. Determine the surface temperature that the red giant will have. State the wavelength of peak emission for the red giant star and which part of the EM spectrum this corresponds to.
3) indicate which locations in the H-R diagram correspond to places where the evolution is slow. Answers should be in the order they occur in the star. For example, if, in order, E, I and A are locations where there is a long time between changes, then enter EIA. (HINT: There are exactly three of them
Hint: Hint: Our sun will be stable for another 4 billion years and white dwarfs last a long time because they are small. Really good additional hint: There are 3 places where the evolution is slow.
Info below is what each of the labels are.
1) red giant, helium flash A2) white dwarf F3) red giant with helium burning shell B4) hydrogen fusion in shell around core I5) helium fusion in core D6) envelope ejected, planetary nebula H7) main-sequence star C8) helium used up, core collapses G9) hydrogen used up, core collapses E
