Chapter 25 Beyond Our Solar System 25.1 Properties of Stars Earth Science Mr. Smith

25.1 Properties of Stars Characteristics of Stars A constellation is an apparent group of stars originally named for mythical characters. The sky contains 88 constellations.  Star Color and Temperature • Color is a clue to a star’s temperature.

25.1 Properties of Stars Characteristics of Stars  Binary Stars and Stellar Mass A binary star is one of two stars revolving around a common center of mass under their mutual gravitational attraction. Binary stars are used to determine the star property most difficult to calculate—its mass.

25.1 Properties of Stars Measuring Distances to Stars  Parallax • Parallax is the slight shifting of the apparent position of a star due to the orbital motion of Earth. • The nearest stars have the largest parallax angles, while those of distant stars are too small to measure.  Light-Year • A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 9.5 trillion kilometers.

25.1 Properties of Stars Stellar Brightness  Apparent Magnitude • Apparent magnitude is the brightness of a star when viewed from Earth. Three factors control the apparent brightness of a star as seen from Earth: how big it is, how hot it is, how far away it is.

25.1 Properties of Stars Stellar Brightness  Absolute Magnitude • Absolute magnitude is the apparent brightness of a star if it were viewed from a distance of 32.6 light-years.

Distance, Apparent Magnitude, and Absolute Magnitude of Some Stars Makes no sense without caption in book

25.1 Properties of Stars Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram  A Hertzsprung–Russell diagram shows the relationship between the absolute magnitude and temperature of stars.  A main-sequence star is a star that falls into the main sequence category on the H–R diagram. This category contains the majority of stars and runs diagonally from the upper left to the lower right on the H–R diagram.

25.1 Properties of Stars Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram  A red giant is a large, cool star of high luminosity; it occupies the upper-right portion of the H–R diagram.  A supergiant is a very large, very bright red giant star.

25.1 Properties of Stars Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram  Variable Stars • A Cepheid variable is a star whose brightness varies periodically because it expands and contracts; it is a type of pulsating star. • A nova is a star that explosively increases in brightness.

25.1 Properties of Stars Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram  Interstellar Matter • A nebula is a cloud of gas and/or dust in space. • There are two major types of nebulae: 1. Bright nebula - Emission nebula - Reflection nebula 2. Dark nebula
