... However, the “brightness” of a star decreases as one moves farther and farther away. If a sphere of radius d is drawn around the star, it should be clear that the energy/sec through the surface of this sphere is the same as the energy/sec emitted through the surface of the star, since there is no me ...

... A one solar mass star will spend 10 billion years on the main sequence. The universe is only 13-14 billion years old. From the formula T = 1/M 2.5 and the sun’s lifetime, we see that a star of 0.9 solar masses should spend 13 billion years on the main sequence. So no stars of lower mass would have h ...

Example: in the dense core of a typical giant molecular cloud: T~ 10 K; ~ 3 x 10-17 kg/m3; ~ 2 for pure H2 gas (X= 1, Y = Z = 0) Thus MJ ~ 2 Msun The characteristic mass of these dense cores is ~ 10 Msun so they are unstable to gravitational collapse - consistent with them being sites of star fo ...

Since the luminosity of a star depends to a high power of its mass on the main sequence (basically, L ∝ M 3.3 ), the lifetime of a star on the main sequence depends strongly on its mass. Higher mass stars (e.g. O stars with masses above 20 solar masses) will burn out the H in ...

Lyra
Lyra (/ˈlaɪərə/; Latin for lyre, from Greek λύρα) is a small constellation. It is one of 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence sometimes referred to as Aquila Cadens or Vultur Cadens. Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. Lyra is visible from the northern hemisphere from spring through autumn, and nearly overhead, in temperate latitudes, during the summer months. From the southern hemisphere, it is visible low in the northern sky during the winter months.The lucida or brightest star—and one of the brightest stars in the sky—is the white main sequence star Vega, a corner of the Summer Triangle. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of stars known as Beta Lyrae variables, binary stars so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other. Epsilon Lyrae, known informally as the Double Double, is a complex multiple star system. Lyra also hosts the Ring Nebula, the second-discovered and best-known planetary nebula.
