properties of stars. We can also learn
stellar interior and evolution from HR
diagram.
Extending the cosmic distance scale
m − M = 5 log10 (
d[pc]
10pc )
•You remember how to measure distance to
stars by using following relation
•We can also evaluate the distance to stars if we
know the luminosity of stars ( ) and apparent
brightness .

b =
L

•If we use the spectral type (or temperature) of
the star, we can estimate the luminosity from
HR diagram..

Luminosity class
•Astronomers developed a system for
classifying stars called “Luminosity class”.
Class Description
Ia Bright supergiants
Ib Supergiants
II Bright giants
III Giants
IV Subgiants
V
Main sequence stars
and dwarfs
Luminous
Stellar masses
•HR diagram apparently provides relation between
temperature and luminosity of stars.
•But, remember that the mass is also important
property of stars. Where does HR diagram
include the information of mass?
•Astronomers checked the mass of stars on the main
sequence and found that lower temperature stars
have smaller mass.
Low mass stars are cool and faint.
Massive stars are hot and bright.
But, why?? > it is related how stars form
Mass determination
How can we determine the mass of stars?
•We know roughly 50% of stars are binary(双星)
•Two stars are in orbital motion around the center of
mass

Do you remember Kepler’s third law?
•I skip the detail, but we can determine the mass of stars when we apply Kepler’s third law
to binary.
Initial mass function
•Initial mass function(IMF) describes initial distribution of masses for stars during star formation.
•The number of massive stars is small and the number of less massive stars is large.

•The mass-luminosity relation on main sequence stars.

Mass and other stellar properties
•We would like to evaluate lifetime of stars. How long can stars burn??
•Because stars burn by nuclear fusion process, we can estimate a main
sequence star’s lifetime by dividing the amount of fuel available (the
mass of star) by the rate at which the fuel is being consumed (the star’s
luminosity)
stellar lifetime ∝
stellar mass
stellar luminosity
.

.

Larger mass or brighter stars die earlier!
Mass and other stellar properties
Let’s calculate the lifetime of Proxima Centauri!
•The lifetime of the sun is roughly year (100亿年)
1010
•The mass of Proxima Centauri is roughly 0.12 (solar mass)
