Correlation between L and T in Nearest Stars

This lecture discusses the correlation between luminosity (L) and temperature (T) in the nearest stars, as shown in the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) Diagram. It also explores the concept of age in stars and how their structure changes over time. The lecture includes examples from open clusters like NGC 290 and the Pleiades, as well as globular clusters M10 and M55. Pre-main-sequence and post-main-sequence evolutionary tracks are also analyzed. Additionally, the presence of dust in spiral galaxies and a dark nebula in our galaxy is discussed.

  2. Plot “L vs. T” for 27 Nearest Stars Data drawn from Appendix 4 of the textbook.

  3. L and T appear to be Correlated Nearest Stars

  4. L and T appear to be Correlated A few of the brightest stars in the night sky

  7. Apply the “Age” Concept to Other Stars • How long can other stars live? • tage = fMc2/L • (tage /1010 years) = (M/Msun)/(L/Lsun)
