Study Notes

Stellar Properties and Mass-Luminosity Relation

The luminosity of a star is proportional to M^3.5, thus the lifetime of a star is t = M / M^3.5 ~ M^-2.5.
The mass-luminosity relation exists for the majority of stars in the sky.

Properties of Specific Stars

Rigel: B8Ia, mass = 10 Msun, luminosity = 44,000 Lsun, lifetime = 20 million years
Sirius: A1V, mass = 2.3 Msun, luminosity = 23 Lsun, lifetime = 1000 million years
Alpha Centauri: G2V, mass = 1.1 Msun, luminosity = 1.4 Lsun, lifetime = 7000 million years
Sun: G2V, mass = 1 Msun, luminosity = 1 Lsun, lifetime = 10,000 million years
Proxima Centauri: M5V, mass = 0.1 Msun, luminosity = 0.00006 Lsun, lifetime > 1,000,000 million years

Initial Mass Function

Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, leading to a range of stellar masses formed in a stellar cluster.
The initial mass function describes the number of stars of a given mass in mass intervals.
Few massive stars are formed, and many sub-solar mass stars are too faint to detect.

Eclipsing Binaries and Stellar Radii

Eclipses of eclipsing binaries do not occur instantaneously, but rather gradually, and the shape of the light curve is sensitive to the sizes of the stars.
The method of eclipsing binaries can be used to calculate the sizes and properties of certain kinds of pulsating stars, including Cepheid variables.

Pulsating Stars and Orbital Eccentricity

A statistical mass estimate can be found by choosing an appropriate average value for sin^3 i.
The integral average of sin^3 i (evaluated between 0° < i < 90°) is approximately 0.59.
Non-circular orbits produce non-sinusoidal velocity curves, which can be fitted with various values of eccentricity to accurately reproduce the velocity curves.
