Study Notes

Fanloid Xydrick: Stellar Evolution, Spectral Classification, and Stellar Rotation

Stellar Evolution

  • Definition: The life cycle of a star, from protostar to final stages
  • Stages:
    1. Protostar: Collapse of molecular cloud, formation of core
    2. Main Sequence: Hydrogen fusion, stable phase
    3. Red Giant: Hydrogen depletion, expansion
    4. White Dwarf: Core contraction, cooling
    5. Neutron Star/Black Hole: Supernova explosion, core collapse
  • Key factors: Mass, metallicity, and internal dynamics influence evolution

Spectral Classification

  • Definition: Classification of stars based on spectral features
  • Spectral Types: (in order of temperature)
    • O: hottest, blue-white
    • B: blue
    • A: white
    • F: yellow-white
    • G: yellow (like the Sun)
    • K: orange
    • M: coolest, red
  • Luminosity Classes:
    • I: supergiants
    • II: bright giants
    • III: giants
    • IV: subgiants
    • V: main-sequence stars
    • VI: white dwarfs

Stellar Rotation

  • Definition: Rotation of a star around its axis
  • Effects:
    • Equatorial Bulge: Faster rotation causes oblateness
    • Gravity Darkening: Lower surface gravity at equator
    • Mass Loss: Rotation influences mass loss rates
  • Measurement Methods:
    • Spectroscopic measurements of rotational broadening
    • Astrometric measurements of stellar wobble
