You see a bright star In the night sky—how do you determine if it is a star or planet?
Which of the following statements about red giant stars are true? (Select all that apply.) Red giant stars are less luminous than main sequence stars of the same temperature. Red giant stars tend to be more luminous than main sequence stars of the same temperatures because they are larger in size. Red giant stars are less luminous than main sequence stars because fusion happens more rapidly in main sequence stars. A red giant star of a given temperature is more...
(a) The observed parallax of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is 0.375 arcseconds. How far away is it in parsecs? In light years? (b) The Hipparcos spacecraft could measure parallaxes as small as 0.001 a How distant is the furthest star for which we can measure parallax? How does this distance compare to the size of the galaxy!
Suppose you find a binary star system in which the more massive star is a red giant and the less massive star is a main-sequence star. Would you expect that mass transfer between the stars has played an important role in the evolution of these stars? Explain your reasoning.

123 Binary Stars 7) Imagine that you are watching a binary star system chtas they eaomntar. And I type main sequence star and a B-spectral type main sequence sta orbit. During this time, you are able to see the starst of the M-S mvedstars At another time, you see the B-spectral type star in at an entirely different time, you see that the B-spectretches showing M-spectral type star. In the space below, draw three would look like at the three...
