The average number of particles atoms, molecules and larger particles, in a cubic metre of interstellar space is only about one million. By comparison a cubic metre of gas in the lecture theatre contains about 1025 particles. Under t ...

Goal: To understand clusters of stars
... • Open clusters are YOUNG clusters that drift apart in about a billion years. • As viewed from Earth you tend to see the blue high mass stars. • Those are always young stars as they don’t last long. • These are clusters with stars of equal age, distance, and composition, but range in mass. ...

Variable Stars – II. Pulsating stars

The star will then be pulsating with a stable period and amplitude. Note that the partial ionization zones can be near the s ...
