Light is Spectra-tastic
Let the SUN shine
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
It's a STELLAR LIFE
Things that make it go BOOM
100
It is both a particle and a wave
What is light?
100
a period of solar inactivity during 1645 and 1715
What is the Maunder Minimum?
100
Plots spectral class vs. absolute magnitude, for example
What is the H-R Diagram?
100
1.4 solar masses
What is the Chandrasekhar limit?
100
This results from a mass transfer binary system in which the white dwarf's mass has exceeded 1.4 solar masses
What is a Type 1 supernova?
200
He developed 3 laws dealing with the creation of various spectra
What is Kirchoff?
200
pattern of rising hot gas cells all over the photosphere
What is granulation?
200
Interstellar gas is composed mainly of this
What is hydrogen?
200
This is a cooled off white dwarf that no longer glows visibly
What is a black dwarf?
200
This type of explosion does not typically reoccur.
What is supernova (both Type I and Type II)?
300
Wavelength ranges between 400 and 700nm
What is visible light?
300
Most of the solar wind flows from these
What are coronal holes?
300
This is where the Sun lies on the H-R diagram
What is the middle of the main sequence?
300
This type of system is the result of one star of a binary filling its Roche lobe and spilling matter onto the other
What is a mass transfer binary?
300
A surface explosion on a white dwarf as a result of matter falling onto it from its binary companion
What is a nova?
400
This changes the frequency of a light wave and results in "red-shift" and "blue-shift"
What is Doppler Effect?
400
a helium-4 atom, energy, and 2 neutrinos form from this step in the fusion process
What is third?
400
This is the hottest spectral class
What is O?
400
This is the most likely outcome for our Sun
What is a planetary nebula?
400
a red giant that is just starting to make Si in its core is likely to generate this type of explosion
What is a type II supernova?
500
Doubling a star's temperature will halve its peak wavelength
What is Wien's Law?
500
5800K
What is the temperature of the photosphere (visible surface) of the sun?
500
This is the most important characteristic in determining a star's evolution
What is its mass?
500
3 He nuclei are converted to this heavier element during the helium flash
What is carbon?
500
Most energy from a supernova is carried via these particles
What are neutrinos?
