Chapter  27โ€”Stars and Galaxies
What is a Star? Star: A body of gas that gives off a tremendous amount of radiant energy in the form of light and heat

Why Do Stars Twinkle?? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Characteristics of Stars Size:   anywhere from 20km to 1 trillion  km in diameter Mass:  the amount of matter  Color:  stars can be red, blue, white,  orange or yellow Composition: contain different elements determined using spectra
Characteristics of Stars Temperature:  Blue is the hottest  (35000 ยฐ C)   Red is the coolest (3000 ยฐ C)   Yellow (our sun) (5500ยฐC)
Luminosity โ€”the actual brightness of a star ,[object Object],Apparent Magnitude โ€”A measure of how bright a star appears to be on earth ,[object Object],[object Object],Absolute Magnitude โ€”A   measure of how bright a star would be if all Stars were at the same distanceโ€”ten parsecsโ€”from Earth
0 -10 -20 -30 10 20 30 Magnitudes Dimmer Brighter Our Sun Sirius  Brightest in the sky from Earth Polaris/North Star -26.5 -2 3 6 We can not see dimmer than +6 with naked eye
Star 1 High luminosity Far from earth =  lower apparent magnitude Star 2 Low luminosity Close to earth =  higher apparent magnitude Apparent Magnitude  v.  Luminosity
Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram ,[object Object],Spectral Class โ€”designates the color of stars >depends on temperature >Hottest to the coolest >Blue to White to yellow to orange to Red
Kinds of Stars super giants-  largest of all stars, very luminous red giants-  cooler, large, very luminous dwarf stars-  less luminous, red, orange or yellow white dwarf-  very faint, small and dense
Variable Stars-  vary in brightness over regular periods or cycles 2 types: A.  pulsating change in brightness as they  contract (brighter) Or expand (dimmer) Example:  cepheid - yellow supergiant
B. nonpulsating Eclipsing Binary 2 stars of unequal brightness that  revolve  around each other brightness depends on which one is  in front  of the other
Pulsars star that releases light and radio waves in pulses may be the neutron star formed in a supernova it looks like it pulses because it is  rotating , like a searchlight

Stellar Masses ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Life Stages of Stars With Solar Masses less than  8 Solar Masses
Main Sequence Star (Our Sun) โ€” >90% of all stars >The star is stable >Burns Hydrogen gas to Helium in its core through nuclear fusion > The energy released causes the  star to shine.  >Stars spend about 90% of their  active lifetime as main sequence stars.  Red Giant โ€” >The star begins to run out of fuel and the core begins to shrink >Helium turns into Carbon >Rapid burning of helium causes outer layer to puff out, cooling the star >The star turns red
Planetary Nebula โ€” >Outer layers are ejected as core continues to shrink >Shell of hot gas >Core is exposed White Dwarf โ€” >Low mass core continues to shrink creating a white dwarf >Surrounded by the Planetary Nebula

  • 16. Characteristics of Stars Size: anywhere from 20km to 1 trillion km in diameter Mass: the amount of matter Color: stars can be red, blue, white, orange or yellow Composition: contain different elements determined using spectra
  • 17. Characteristics of Stars Temperature: Blue is the hottest (35000 ยฐ C) Red is the coolest (3000 ยฐ C) Yellow (our sun) (5500ยฐC)

  • 20. Star 1 High luminosity Far from earth = lower apparent magnitude Star 2 Low luminosity Close to earth = higher apparent magnitude Apparent Magnitude v. Luminosity
  • 21.
  • 22. Kinds of Stars super giants- largest of all stars, very luminous red giants- cooler, large, very luminous dwarf stars- less luminous, red, orange or yellow white dwarf- very faint, small and dense
  • 23. Variable Stars- vary in brightness over regular periods or cycles 2 types: A. pulsating change in brightness as they contract (brighter) Or expand (dimmer) Example: cepheid - yellow supergiant
  • 24. B. nonpulsating Eclipsing Binary 2 stars of unequal brightness that revolve around each other brightness depends on which one is in front of the other
  • 25. Pulsars star that releases light and radio waves in pulses may be the neutron star formed in a supernova it looks like it pulses because it is rotating , like a searchlight

  • 31. Main Sequence Star (Our Sun) โ€” >90% of all stars >The star is stable >Burns Hydrogen gas to Helium in its core through nuclear fusion > The energy released causes the star to shine. >Stars spend about 90% of their active lifetime as main sequence stars. Red Giant โ€” >The star begins to run out of fuel and the core begins to shrink >Helium turns into Carbon >Rapid burning of helium causes outer layer to puff out, cooling the star >The star turns red
  • 32. Planetary Nebula โ€” >Outer layers are ejected as core continues to shrink >Shell of hot gas >Core is exposed White Dwarf โ€” >Low mass core continues to shrink creating a white dwarf >Surrounded by the Planetary Nebula
