Star cluster radius D has observer stand in the middle of it.It has apparent magnitude -1.7 .If sun has m=-26.7 and it...
A star has apparent magnitude 10.0 and absolute magnitude 4.5. How far away is it? Express your answer using two significant figures.
Question 2. The supergiant star Rigel has a parallax 3.78 mas, apparent magnitude m = 0.1, and surface temperature T = 12,100 K. Calculate its: distance [parsec] luminosity [solar units], radius [solar radii]
An isolated star with the radius of the Sun (6.95 × 108 m) rotates on an axis through its centre once every 2.16 × 106 s. It collapses under gravity to form a much denser star with the radius of the Earth (6.38 × 106 m). For the purposes of this question, you may assume that no matter is lost from the star during its collapse. You may also treat the star as a homogeneous sphere before and after the...
Question 1. A star has a parallax 0.043 arcsec and an apparent magnitude m = 7.8. Calculate its distance (parsec) and luminosity. Express the luminosity in watts and as a percentage of the solar luminosity.
9) How distant is a star whose modulus is -7.5? 10) If its apparent magnitude (m) = +13.5 and absolute magnitude (M) = +10, what is the distance to a star? PROBLEMS TO COMPLETE FOR PARALLAX 11) A star has a parallax of .025 seconds of arc—what is its distance in parsecs? The nearest star has a parallax of 76 arc seconds—what is its distance in light years? 12) If star were 2.40 pc from Earth, what would its distance...
Imagine we find a star that has the same radius as the Sun, but its temperature is 9.6 times greater. That star should be _____ times as luminous as the Sun. Suppose we find a planet with an orbital period of 200 days around a star with the same mass as the Sun, but only 75 percent as luminous. What is the planet’s semi-major axis, in AU?
The star Sirius has an apparent magnitude ?V = −1.46 and a parallax ? = 0.37921”.(a) Calculate its distance and absolute magnitude. (b) What would Sirius’ parallax be if it were measured from an observatory on Neptune’s moon Triton as Neptune orbited theSun?
correct?

Astronomers discover an exoplanet (a planet of a star other than the Sun) that has an orbital period of 3.97 Earth years in its circular orbit around its sun, which is a star with a measured mass of 3.41 times 10^30 kg. Find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit. _____ m
a) Consider a star with the same ass as our sun but with a different radius. To escape this stur an object launched from its surface needs a speed equal to the speed of light (3 x 10m/s). What is the radius of this star? b) A satellite with mm Sooky is launched into orbit from Earth's surface. If the satellite travels in a circular orbit with speed 7000 m/s what was the speed of the satellite when it was...
