Q

Important Trigger

A

When masses in a space, the space is getting changed.

17
Q

CNO cycle

A

Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen.

MAIN SEQUENCE STARS use this process for energy production

18
Q

Alpha particle has a ____ nucleus

A

helium.

19
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Main sequence stars are stable stars

A

True

20
Q

Stability in star relies on ____ and ____ ____

A

Temperature and Gas Pressure.

21
Q

LAWS OF MASS AND ENERGY (3 laws)

A
  1. Conservational mass= total mass is equal to the sum of the layers of mass.
  2. Conservational energy= energy proceeds is the same from Layer to layer
  3. Hydrostatic equlibrium
  4. Energy transport
22
Q

Mass determines life time. If the star brighter it burns faster then ___

A

they die sooner

23
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: More mass= more energy needed to produce =short lifetime for larger stars

A

TRUE

24
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Main sequence stars use nuclear fusion for energy

A

TRUE

25
Q

Planetary Nebulae

A

Outer layers kicked out from a medium-mass star.

Fusion Shell is so unstable they begin to flare- which pushed the atmosphere outward.

26
Q

Novae and the binary system

A

when there a system of a small star and a large star and the smaller steals the mass of the larger one

27
Q

Type I supernovae

A
  • No hydrogen lines in their spectra
  • CLASSIFICATION of 1a and 1b
  • happens in binary system

1a= white dwarf has more than 1.4 solar masses it will collapse on itself. BRIGHTEST explosion. EVERYTHING IS DESTROYED.

1b.Enormous explosion. outer layers removed. LEAST COMMON.

28
Q

Type II supernovae

A
  • Spectra containing hydrogen lines (because the star didn’t lose its atmosphere)
  • explosion of a massive star.
29
Q

Jocelyn Bell 1967

A

SERIES OF REGULAR PULSES. (Pulsars)

30
Q

The greater the mass the ____er the evolution

A

faster

31
Q

Escape Velocity:

A

How much velocity needed for an object to leave celestial body (more mass higher escape velocity)

32
Q

need chapter 11-12

A
