Why are fainter (and less massive) stars more common than brighter ones?

8

A) They live longer B) They form more frequently C) They aren’t more common, we just see them more easily

The universe is about 13 billion years old. If I see a 0.7 solar mass star, what phase of evolution will it be in?

A) Main Sequence B) Red Giant Branch C) Helium Burning D) Asymptotic Giant Branch

How do we know the different stages of a star's life? We

  • bviously have not been observing

stars for long enough to see it go through all the stages.

Star Clusters: stars of many masses born at the same time

slide-28

ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2019: Chapter 12 28

Which of these star clusters is the oldest?

A B C

Theory (red line) & Observations (white dots)

We can make a model of any star based on its mass and age

Which stars in this cluster are the most massive?

A B C D

slide-31
SLIDE 31

ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2019: Chapter 12

Because stars in clusters form at the same time, and a star’s evolution is determined primarily by its mass, we can

  • bserve many

clusters and figure

  • ut how stars evolve

A “nova” is what? A) Material from Star 2 hits the surface of the white dwarf, causing it to heat up B) Material from Star 2 accumulates on the surface until it’s hot enough to burn (fuse H -> He) C) Enough material falls on the white dwarf to cause the entire star to explode
