Stars: radius and mass
... Stars come in a variety of sizes • If we know luminosity and temperature, then we can find the radius: L = 4R2T4 • Small stars will have low luminosities unless they are very hot. • Stars with low surface temperatures must be very large in order to have large luminosities. ...

... In high-mass stars everything takes place more rapidly. Greater mass means greater gravity and the protostar process is accelerated. Greater mass leads to greater core pressures and temperatures, thus, a hotter more luminous star. The greater mass star consumes the available hydrogen at a much highe ...

International Ultraviolet Explorer
The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) was an astronomical observatory satellite primarily designed to take ultraviolet spectra. The satellite was a collaborative project between NASA, the UK Science Research Council and the European Space Agency (ESA). The mission was first proposed in early 1964, by a group of scientists in the United Kingdom, and was launched on January 26, 1978 aboard a NASA Delta rocket. The mission lifetime was initially set for 3 years, but in the end it lasted almost 18 years, with the satellite being shut down in 1996. The switch-off occurred for financial reasons, while the telescope was still functioning at near original efficiency.It was the first space observatory to be operated in real time by astronomers who visited the groundstations in the United States and Europe. Astronomers made over 104,000 observations using the IUE, of objects ranging from solar system bodies to distant quasars. Among the significant scientific results from IUE data were the first large scale studies of stellar winds, accurate measurements of the way interstellar dust absorbs light, and measurements of the supernova SN1987A which showed that it defied stellar evolution theories as they then stood. When the mission ended, it was considered the most successful astronomical satellite ever.
