HR Diagram Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram Relativity and Astrophysics Lecture 14 Terry Herter Outline Magnitudes Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram Summary of M-S stellar properties A2290-14 A2290-14 Main-sequence, giant, supergiants, and white dwarfs Mass, size, temperature, lifetime HR Diagram 2 1 HR Diagram Magnitudes We would like a way of specifying the relative brightness of stars Hipparchus Devised a the magnitude system 2100 years ago to classify stars according to their apparent brightness. He labeled 1080 stars as class 0, 1,.. 6. 0 was the brightest, 1 the next brightest, etc. The magnitude scale is logarithmic. An increase in magnitude by 2.5 means an object is a factor of 10 dimmer, e.g. a 0 mag star is 10 times brighter than a 2.5 mag star. a 0 mag star is 100 times brighter than a 5 mag star. A2290-14 HR Diagram 3 Example magnitudes Star or Planet mv Sun -26.8 Sirius -1.47 Canopus -0.72 Car Arcturus -0.06 Boo Vega 0.03 Lyr 0.45 Ori Altair 0.77 Aqu 1.26 Cyg A2290-14 Venus -4.6 to -3.8 range Mars, Jupiter -2.9 max Saturn -0.4 max A dark adapted person with good eyesight can see to ~ 6th magnitude.

HR Diagram Each magnitude is a factor of 2.512 and 2.5 mag. is a factor 10. 6 3 HR Diagram Absolute & Bolometric Magnitudes mv – apparent magnitude Mv – absolute magnitude How bright a star appears in the sky. Brightness if the star were at 10 pc This is an intrinsic property of the star! M – absolute bolometric magnitude Brightness at ALL wavelengths (and 10 pc). To get Mv or M we must know the distance to the star. Example: Suppose a star has mv = 7.0 and is located 100 pc away. It is 10 times the standard distance, thus, it would be 100 times brighter to us at the standard distance. Or 5 magnitudes brighter => Mv = 2.0 A2290-14 HR Diagram 7 Example Absolute Magnitudes Object Sun: Full Moon: Sirius: Canopus: Arcturus: Deneb: A2290-14 A2290-14 mV -26.8 -12.6 -1.47 -0.72 -0.06 1.26 HR Diagram MV 4.77 (32) 1.4 -3.1 -0.3 -7.2 8 4 HR Diagram The Distance Modulus Equation The relation between mv and Mv is written in equation form as: mv - Mv = - 5 + 5 log10( d ) (d in pc) mv - Mv is called the distance modulus. Examples: A2290-14 Deneb: mv = 1.26 and is 490 pc away. mv - Mv = - 5 + 5 log10( d ) 1.26 - Mv = - 5 + 5 log10( 490 ) = -8.5 => Mv = -7.2 Sun: mv = -26.8, d = 1 AU -26.8 - Mv = - 5 + 5 log10( 1/206265 ) => Mv = 4.8 HR Diagram 9 Luminosity vs. Color of Stars In 1911, Ejnar Hertzsprung investigated the relationship between luminosity and colors of stars in within clusters. In 1913, Henry Norris Russell did a similar study of nearby stars. Both found that the color (temperature, spectral type) was related to the luminosity.

For a given spectral class (e.g. K), there can be more than one luminosity. i.e. main-sequence, giant or supergiant On the main sequence, there are many more K and M stars than O and B stars. Observational Effects A2290-14 A2290-14 main sequence, giant, supergiant, etc. An H-R diagram of the brightest stars will preferentially show luminous star because we can see them farther away. An H-R diagram of the nearest stars show many M type stars because M stars are very numerous.

So largest stars would extend beyond the orbit of the earth!! A2290-14 HR Diagram 19 Spectroscopic Parallax From a star’s spectrum, we can determine its spectral and luminosity class. Given the star’s apparent brightness (observed flux), we can then estimate its distance. This distance determination technique is called spectroscopic parallax Example: Observe a G2 Ia star (supergiant) with A2290-14 A2290-14 apparent magnitude mv = 10. The absolute magnitude (from the H-R diagram) is Mv = -5. but mv - Mv = - 5 + 5 log10( d ) => log10( d ) = 20/5 = 4 => d = 10,000 pc HR Diagram 20 10 HR Diagram Stellar Masses We know many properties of stars now: But the most important determining characteristic of a star is its mass. How do we “weigh” a star? Binary stars (75% of all stars are “binary stars”) Temperature, radius, luminosity, surface composition pairs of stars that orbit each other used to determine masses of stars Type of Binaries Visual Binary Spectroscopic Binary Eclipsing Binary (rare) A2290-14 Stars are separated in a telescope See two sets of spectral lines Doppler shifted due to orbital motion Stars cross in front of one another HR Diagram 21 Spectroscopic Binary Simulation The Doppler shift shows the velocity changing periodically. The system is probably not a “visual” binary and you may only be able to detect one star. A2290-14 A2290-14 HR Diagram 22 11 HR Diagram Binary simulation Cross indicates the “center of mass” of the system. The stars orbit about this point. A2290-14 HR Diagram 23 Masses of Binary Stars Newton’s laws allow us to determine the total mass in a binary system. For star of mass MA and MB (in solar masses), the total mass is related to the period, P, in years and the average distance between the stars, a (in AU). MA MB Example: If a visual binary has a period of 32 years and an average separation of 16 AU then MA MB A2290-14 A2290-14 a3 P2 163 16 16 16 16 4 M sun 32 2 32 32 4 Now with stellar masses in hand we can compile table with properties of stars HR Diagram 24 12 HR Diagram Summary of Main-Sequence Stellar Properties Class Mass (Msun) L (Lsun) Temp.

Newton’s triumph was deriving this relationship What follows is simplified derivation based on circular (rather than elliptical) orbits and M >> m. Start with Newton’s equation for acceleration by a force F ma that is, force is mass times acceleration For a circular orbit, the (centripetal) acceleration is given by: 2 a A2290-14 A2290-14 v r F m v2 r Now we use Newton’s law of gravity HR Diagram 30 15 HR Diagram Newton => Kepler Newton’s law of gravity is F Setting this equal to the centripetal force gives mv 2 GMm 2 r r A2290-14 A2290-14 v2 GM r The orbital period, P, and the velocity are related. Using this and combining with the above equation gives: 2 2 r 4 2 r 3 GM 2 r 2 v GMm r2 P r P P GM Which is Kepler’s Harmonic Law, P2 r3. HR Diagram 31 16
