Question 1
1.

read chapter 12.1-12.4, Much of this should be review. Do you have any questions

Question 2
2.

Summarize the Stefan-Boltzmann law and what it is used for

Question 3
3.

Define luminosity of a star

Question 4
4.

Why does 0 class stars having ionized helium and hydrogen mean that the lines corresponding to helium and hydrogen are thinner than B and A class stars?

Question 5
5.

The doppler shift help us determine if a star is moving

Question 6
6.

You can determine how fast the star is moving by the distance of the shift in the spectrum

Question 7
7.

What is a binary star system?

Question 8
8.

Why do binary stars sometimes appear as one point of light?

Question 9
9.

What determines the luminosity of a binary star system?

Question 10
10.

watch science asylum guy talk about nuclear fusion. I like this guy's videos, but part of the reason I like it is that he does expose some of the hand-waving we can do sometimes when we simplify this kind of thing.
So instead of asking if you have questions about this i want you identify
1) something that you did understand pretty well.
2) something you understand is more complicated than you thought
3) something you didn't understand at all.

Question 11
11.

Categorize your understanding

  • measuring the distance of a star using triangulation and parallax
  • measuring the distance of a star using the standard candles method
  • the difference between luminocity and brightness
  • why the brightness of the star follows the3 inverse square law
  • the difference between luminosity and temperature
  • whats the point of the stefan-boltzmann law
  • how we use the spectra to find the temperature
  • how we use spectra to find the composition
  • how we use spectra to find the velocity
  • what is a binary star
  • how can you tell that a star system is binary if they are so close together you only see on smear of light?
  • I've got this
  • I'm fuzzy
  • so confused
