Correct! The main sequence is the longest evolutionary phase of a low mass star. Our Sun remains for 4.5billion years a main sequence star. Try to find the other phases or go to the next question. Redo question Next question Return to Main Page Stellar evolution low mass stars quiz Which are the three longest evolutionary stages of a low mass star? Correct!

Redo question Next question Return to Main Page Stellar evolution low mass stars quiz Which are the three longest evolutionary stages of a low mass star? Correct! The white dwarf phase is the second longest evolutionary phase of a low mass star. Actually this isn't a real phase. It is more the like the grave of a low mass star. Try to find the other phases or go to the next question. Redo question Return to Main Page Stellar evolution low mass stars quiz Which are the three longest evolutionary stages of a low mass star?

Correct! These stars are very red since they are very cool. Our Sun will become as cold as 2 500 K on its surface.

Redo question Return to Main Page Info on low mass evolution 100 000 Sun Click on an evolutionary phase in the HR diagram you want to learn more about! 1 Sun Red Giants Horizontal Branch Planetary Nebula 0.001 Sun Luminosity Main Page White Dwarfs 40 000 K 2 500 K Surface Temperature Red Giants Mira Betelgeuse Info Page Red giants are sooo large that we can actually 'see' their size. Sadly we have to use very special techniques and can't just look through a very large telescope. Many bright red stars we see in the sky are red giants. NEXT Red Giants NGC 6888 - Crecent Previous Info Page Nebula Red giants lose some of their mass during their evolution. This material can form beautiful nebula around them and also enriches the surrounding space with heavy elements. NEXT Red Giants An artists impression of a Supernova Type Ia Info Page The Red Giant on the right is in a double star system. It provides material for a white dwarf on the left. If the white dwarf collects enough material it will explode as a Supernova (Type Ia). Since this happens at a very specific mass and the brightness depends on the mass, we can use these special Supernova to derive distances to very distant galaxies. Horizontal Branch A HR diagram of a cluster of old Info stars Page NEXT In this figure it becomes clear why these stars are called horizontal stars: The location of all horizontal branch stars is highlighted and they all lie in a horizontal region. Horizontal Branch Variable Horizontal branch Previous Info stars Page You will have noticed that some horizontal branch stars seemed to be above the normal region favoured by the others. These special stars are variable stars. Maybe you can spot them in the image of an old stellar cluster. These special stars are used to determine distance in our Galaxy. Planetary Nebula M57 - Ring nebula Info Page NEXT During the Planetary Nebula phase the star becomes a white dwarf and ejects all its mass into space. What remains is a white dwarf in the centre and a beautiful symetric nebula. It looks like a ring since the mass the star has lost is in a spherical shell around it. Planetary Nebula NGC 6543 Previous Info Page Sometimes the mass ejected by the star interacts with the mass it has lost during the Red Giant Phase and creates more complicated patterns. Here the nebula actually consists of two sperical shells. one to the top left and one to the bottom right of the star. NEXT Planetary Nebula Previous Info Page In some cases the two spherical shells look as if they are open at each end. White Dwarfs White dwarfs in an old stellar cluster Info Page White dwarfs are difficulat to observe since they are the faintest phase in the low mass stars evolution. However you will end up with loads of them after a while in an old cluster. NEXT White Dwarfs An artists impression of Supernova Type Ia Previous Info Page a The Red Giant on the right is in a double star system. It provides material for a white dwarf on the left. If the white dwarf collects enough material it will explode as a Supernova (Type Ia). Since this happens at a very specific mass and the brightness depends on the mass, we can use these special Supernova to derive distances to very distant galaxies.
