- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku Q: You’ve just discovered another new X-ray binary, which we will call Hyp-X2 (“Hyp” for hypothetical). The system Hyp-X2 contains a bright, G2 main-sequence star orbiting an unseen companion. The separation of the stars is estimated to be 12 million kilometers, and the orbital period of the visible star is 5 days. Use Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law to calculate the sum of the masses of the two stars in the system. a)Express your answer in kilograms to two significant figures. b) Give your answer from the previous part in solar masses. ( Msun= 2.0 x 10 /30 kg). Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures. C) Determine the mass of the unseen companion. ( Hint: A G2 main-sequence star has a mass of 1 Msun.) Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures. The previous answer was not correct, please help mearrow_forwardPlease Explain The hotness of stars goes up to millions of degrees Celsius. The coldness of gases can go as low as -273.15 o C. How do you explain the absence of symmetry between hot and cold? Is it possible that there is also a limit to the hotness of any object in the universe? Show your step-by-step solutions.arrow_forwardAs a star runs out of hydrogen to fuel nuclear fusion in its core, changes within the star usually cause it to leave the main sequence, expanding and cooling as it does so. Would a star with a radius 6 times that of the Sun, but a surface temperature 0.4 times that of the Sun, be more, or less luminous than the Sun? Show and explain your reasoning. You may assume the surface area of a sphere is A = 4πr2.arrow_forward
- In Diameters of Stars, the relative diameters of the two stars in the Sirius system were determined. Let’s use this value to explore other aspects of this system. This will be done through several steps, each in its own exercise. Assume the temperature of the Sun is 5800 K, and the temperature of Sirius A, the larger star of the binary, is 10,000 K. The luminosity of Sirius A can be found in Appendix J, and is given as about 23 times that of the Sun. Using the values provided, calculate the radius of Sirius A relative to that of the Sun.arrow_forwardTopic: Life Cycle of Stars Q.
