1 Prepare your scantron:
Use a pencil, not a pen! Fill in your name and fill the bubbles under your name. LAST NAME FIRST, First name second Put your 4-digit code instead of “IDENTIFICATION NUMBER”. --- (The last 4 digits of your OleMiss ID.) Question # 1: answer A Question # 2: answer C Question # 3: answer E Setup: Pass-fail makeup: April 2 (Tuesday) 6:00 pm Recall reading assignment: Chapter 17 (“Star stuff”): pp. 532 – 554 Please take a moment to mute your cell phone!

A The absolute brightness and the temperature of stars. B The size and the absolute brightness of stars. C The apparent brightness and the spectral type of the star. D The size and the apparent brightness of a star.

7 An example: how far is Spica?
Brightness: 1mg (fairly bright) Color: B (bluish-white) Find M from HRD: M=-6mg (very bright) Looks 7mg fainter than it really is: distance modulus = 7 mg distance is 90 pc = 270 light years Parallax method would not work well - too far Example: Spica

8 An application: star clusters
Recall what they are: a bunch of stars together • close to each other (less than a light year) • all part or our Galaxy Use for clusters The Pleiades (M45) A globular cluster (M10) The Beehive (M44) Two open clusters

9 Clusters are useful for studying stars: same distance, same age
Prepare HRD of all stars of a cluster: Cluster HRD Find: • Many stars on the main sequence • Above a “turnoff”, stars are to the right of the main sequence Meaning: something happened to these (these stars are the brightest in the cluster) Jump ahead: they have used up all their hydrogen Place of turnoff indicates age: • Pleiades is young • w Cen is old Pleiades w Centauri

14 What is where in the HRD?

15 The significance of stellar mass
Mass tells: • rate of evolution • location on main sequence • whether star blows up as supernova Stellar masses The heaviest star: 80 M Short life very bright blue, hot dies as a (10 million yrs) (-10 mg) (O5) supernova The lightest star: 0.1 M Long life very faint red, lukewarm dies as a (100 billion yrs) (+15 mg) (M5) white dwarf

B The temperature in its center. C Its chemical composition. D Its mass. E Its magnetic field. Next question coming …
