HW #5 Answers (Due 9/29)
... other words, why do high mass stars give off more energy every second than a low mass star? High mass stars have more mass, so their gravity is higher. The gravity squeezes the core more tightly causing the temperature and density to be higher in the core than in a low mass star. High temperature an ...

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.
