11 Different Types of Stars Different Masses Different Temperatures Different Sizes Same Stuff, (mostly the) Same Science Hydrogen and Helium and a bit of everything else Hot incandescent Gas Nuclear Furnace Gravitational Equilibrium Astronomy 101 with Pressure
12 Different Types of Stars Oh Be A Fine Guy/Girl, Kiss Me Astronomy 101 (The Sun)
13 HOT The spectral sequence in order COOL
14 Luminosity/Absolute Magnitude Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) Diagram Temperature/Color
15 Why are Luminosity these cold, red stars brighter? Why are these hot, blue stars fainter? Temperature
16 C Luminosity B Which star has the largest radius? D A Astronomy 101 Temperature
17 Main Sequence High-mass stars Hydrogen to Helium Burning in core 90% of the star's life Where the Sun is Low-mass stars
18 Massive Main Sequence Stars Larger gravitational forces balanced by higher central pressures 18
19 Suppose the mass of a star increases The Central Pressure: A) Decreases B) Increases The Central Density: A) Drops B) Increases 19
20 Suppose the mass of a star increases The Central Pressure: A) Decreases B) Increases The Central Density: A) Drops B) Increases 20
21 Suppose the Central Pressure and Density Increase The Central Temperature: A) Decreases B) Increases 21
22 Suppose the Central Pressure and Density Increase The Central Temperature: A) Decreases B) Increases 22
23 Suppose the Central Temperature Increases The Rate of Fusion A) Decreases B) Increases 23
24 Suppose the Central Temperature Increases The Rate of Fusion A) Decreases B) Increases 24
25 Mass PressureTemperatureFusion Higher central temperatures lead to higher temperatures throughout the star The also lead to higher fusion rates 25
26 The Lifetime of a star is extremely sensitive to its mass. Massive stars have more Hydrogen to burn BUT Massive stars burn their Hydrogen more quickly Add picture of hybrid vs SUV 26
27 Live Fast, Die Young! Sun (1MX, 1L ) 1010 years to use up its Hydrogen. Low mass stars live FOREVER!!! Heavy Star (10M, ~10,000L ) 107 years High mass stars die IMMEDIATELY! 27
28 Live Fast, Die Young! c Sun (1M, 1L ) 1010 years to use up its Hydrogen. Low mass stars live FOREVER!!! Heavy Star (10M, ~10,000L ) 107 years High mass stars die IMMEDIATELY! 28

31 Luminosity A D B C Astronomy 101 Temperature Which of these stars can be no more than 10 million years old?
32 Luminosity A D B C Astronomy 101 Temperature Which of these stars will have changed the least 10 billion years from now?
33 Luminosity A D B C Astronomy 101 Temperature Which of these stars will we see the most of if we look at the volume of space near us?
34 Luminosity A D B C Astronomy 101 Temperature Which of these stars are we most likely to see far away from us?
35 Bunches of stars can form together in clusters They all reach the main sequenc 35
36 The high mass stars are gone! After time passes Only long-lived low mass stars are left! 36
37 What Happens When A Star Stops Being on the Main Sequence? Star runs out of Hydrogen in the core Core collapses Then what? Depends on Mass High Mass Stars > 8 MSun Intermediate Mass Stars Low Mass Stars < 2 MSun Brown Dwarfs 37

40 Rules for the Day When Stuff gets hotter and denser, heavier elements can fuse together. Heavier elements have more nuclear charge, and thus more repulsion! Takes more energy to force them together. 40
41 Happy Star on the Main Sequence. Nice Hot Dense region with lots-o-hydrogen to burn. La la la la Becomes 41
42 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. Running out of Hydrogen! Energy output is going down! Um errr 42
43 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. Without fusion, the temperature of the core will: Um errr A) Cool down B) Heat up 43
44 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. Without fusion, the temperature of the core will: Um errr A) Cool down B) Heat up 44
45 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. The pressure in the core will: Um errr A) Decrease B) Increase The core will: A) Shrink B) Expand 45
46 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. The pressure in the core will: Um errr A) Decrease B) Increase The core will: A) Shrink B) Expand 46
47 Core shrinks because it cools! Fusion Stops! Core Cools! Pressure Drops! Temperature Pressure Core Shrinks! 47
48 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. As the core starts to shrink and material falls in: Temperature will: A) Keep cooling down B) Start heating back up Density will: A) Decrease B) Increase 48
49 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. As the core starts to shrink and material falls in: Temperature will: A) Keep cooling down B) Start heating back up Density will: A) Decrease B) Increase 49
50 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. It shrinks, and heats up! Layers above it fall in too! (nothing is pushing back) 50
51 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. Collapsing layers have hydrogen and are now dense enough for hydrogen fusion Shell is now even denser & hotter than original core! Shell Burning Huge energy output! Huge LUMINOSITY! 51
52 Nervous Star ending its time on the Main Sequence. Luminous shell pushes up the stuff above it. Core is still collapsing through! 52
53 The star gets redder when it swells up! hotter gas expands and cools cooler This turns the main sequence star into a red giant! 53

64 As the Star Expands, What Happens to the Gravity Holding on to the Outer Layers of the Star? A) Stays the same because the star's mass is the same B) Increases because the star is bigger C) Decreases because the mass is smaller from fusion D) Decreases because the radius of the star is larger 64
