Using The HR Diagram Example 1: Spectroscopic Parallax Same Spectral Type –means same temperature Same Luminosity Class –means same size m-M = 5 log d - 5 Determine Distance by observing (m ), and utilizing the HR diagram to assume (M ). L/Lsun O B A F G K M
12
Using The HR Diagram Example 2: Size Determination Same Spectral Type –means same temperature Different Luminosity Class –means different size L = 4 R 2 T 4 M = 0, M sun = 5 L/Lsun O B A F G K M
13
Using The HR Diagram Example 2: Size Determination Same Spectral Type –means same temperature Different Luminosity Class –means different size L = 4 R 2 T 4 M = 0, M sun = 5 A difference in 5 magnitudes is 100x in brightness 4 R 2 T 4 = 100 4 R sun 2 T 4 R 2 = 100 R sun 2 L/Lsun O B A F G K M

Using The HR Diagram Example 2: Size Determination Same Spectral Type –means same temperature Different Luminosity Class –means different size L = 4 R 2 T 4 M = 0, M sun = 5 A difference in 5 magnitudes is 100x in brightness 4 R 2 T 4 = 100 4 R sun 2 T 4 R 2 = 100 R sun 2 Therefore, R/R sun = (100) 1/2 L/Lsun O B A F G K M
