Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

The best parallaxes obtained with Hipparcos have an accuracy of 0.001 arcsec. If you want to measure the distance to a star with an accuracy of 10%, its parallax must be 10 times larger than the typical error. How far away can you obtain a distance that is accurate to 10% with Hipparcos data? The disk of our Galaxy is 100,000 light-years in diameter. What fraction of the diameter of the Galaxy’s disk is the distance for which we can measure accurate parallaxes?
What would be the Schwarzschild radius, in light years, if our Milky Way galaxy of 100 billion stars collapsed into a black hole? Compare this to our distance from the center, about 13,000 light years.
Astronomers discover a binary system with a period of 90 days. Both stars have a mass twice that of the Sun. How far apart are the two stars? Both stars revolve around the center of mass in an orbit with radius r. F2oni d=ar Fron2 The distance between the stars is 2r.
How close, r, to the center of a neutron star would a manned satellite be orbiting if it were at the location where the gravitational force from the star equaled the gravitational force of the Earth's surface? RN = neutron star radius = 1 × 104 kmM N = neutron star mass = 3 × 1030 kgG = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2 / kg2g⊕ = Earth gravitational acceleration = 9.807 m/s²
Determining the orbit of the two stars of Kepler-34, also called A and B. These two stars together are called a binary. A) Assume that star A has a mass of 1 solar mass and star B also has a mass of 1 solar mass. The semi major axis is 0.23 AU and the eccentricty is 0.53. What is the orbital period of the stellar A-B binary in days? Ignore the (much less massive) planet and focus on the orbit of the binary. B) Now let's consider the orbit of the planet, called "b". Since the planet orbits some distance away from the stars, it is an acceptable approximation to pretend like the stellar binary is like a single star with a mass that is the sum of the masses of stars A and B and that the mass of planet "b" is very small, calculate the semi-major axis in AU of the planet's orbit with a period of 289 days. (note: I think for this problem you are supposed to use Newton's version of Kepler's third law P2= 4π2/G(M1-M2)x a3 but, I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do). 1 solar mass= 2 x…
