... ANSWER: Problem 4 is an application of the radius – luminosity – temperature relation for stars. Given two of these values, the third is found using that relation, described on pg 449 in the text. In solar units, L = R2 x T4 , substituting into the expression gives 64 = R2 x 24 , 64 = R2 x 16 Dividi ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
