Last week we used the “Main-sequence Fitting” technique to find the 1. distance to the Pleiades star
cluster.2. size of the Pleiades star
cluster.3. mass of the Pleiades star
cluster.4. age of the Pleiades stars
cluster.

What two stellar properties are plotted on a color-magnitude diagram?1. absolute magnitude and spectral
class2. absolute magnitude and color3. apparent magnitude and color4. apparent magnitude and
distance

Color is a measure of a star’s _____.1. temperature2. size3. brightness4. luminosity

Stellar Main-sequence Lifetime
Stellar Birth Massive stars form quickly Low mass stars form slowly
Main-sequence Stars Fuse hydrogen in their cores High mass stars
consume hydrogen at a furious rate
high luminosities short lifetimes
Low mass stars consume hydrogen at a low rate low luminosities long lifetimes
Giant Stars Core hydrogen exhausted

Stars in a Cluster Stars in a Cluster
Common Properties Distance Age Chemical composition
Different Properties Spectral Types (temperature) Luminosity Class (size)

Massive blue stars die first, followed by white, yellow, orange, and red stars
Star clusters help us test models of stellar evolution because they contain stars of same age but at different life stages

Pleiades - Open Cluster
Distance - 380 ly Age - 100 million years
age of cluster = lifetime of stars at main-sequence turnoff point
B6 stars -- 100 million yrs. MS lifetime
![Page 15: Lab 09](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161cc550346895dd1b8c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
M3 - Globular Cluster
distance - 32,000 ly age - 10 billion years old
G stars -- 10 billion yrs. MS lifetime
standard main-sequence
age of cluster = lifetime of stars at main-sequence turnoff point

Interstellar Dust Reddens Light (makes stars appear
cooler) Dims Light (makes stars appear further
away)
