Chapter 13 Reading Assignment due Monday, October 22nd Midterms available up front Makeup in-class assignment from Wednesday online, due on Monday (for Turn in extra credit planetarium reports late credit) up front (not “due” today, but please turn in this week if you went) ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 17

  18. Lifetime as a function of mass ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 18

  19. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 19

  20. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 20

  21. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 21

  22. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 22

  23. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 23

  24. Future Evolution of the Sun Again, this time with feeling! ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 24

  25. Size changes along with temperature ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 25

  26. The universe is about 13 billion years old. If I see a 0.7 solar mass star, what phase of A) Main Sequence evolution will it be in? B) Red Giant Branch C) Helium Burning D) Asymptotic Giant Branch ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 26

  27. How do we know the different stages of a star's life? We obviously have not been observing stars for long enough to see it go through all the stages. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 27

  28. Star Clusters: stars of many masses born at the same time ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 28

  29. Which of these star clusters is the oldest? A B C ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 29

  30. Theory (red line) & Observations (white dots) We can make a model of any star based on its mass and age ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 30

  31. D Which stars in C this cluster are the most B massive? A ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 31

  32. Because stars in clusters form at the same time, and a star’s evolution is determined primarily by its mass, we can observe many clusters and figure out how stars evolve ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 32

  33. What happens when close binary stars evolve? What is this??? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 33

  34. What happens when close binary stars evolve? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 34

  35. What happens when close binary stars evolve? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 35

  36. What happens when close binary stars evolve? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 36

  37. What happens when close binary stars evolve? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 37

  38. What happens when close binary 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 ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 38

  39. What happens when close binary stars evolve? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 39

  40. What happens when close binary stars evolve? ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 40

  41. Type Ia Supernovae ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 12 � 41
