The distance from Earth of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 643 light-years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it would be one of the brightest stars in the sky. Right now, the brightest star other than the Sun is Sirius, with a luminosity of 26LSun and a distance of 8.6 light-years. How much brighter in our sky than Sirius would the Betelgeuse supernova be if it reached a maximum luminosity of 8.0×109LSun? using two significant figures

A star with a radius four times that of our Sun is observed to have a rough blackbody spectrum that peaks around 400nm. The star illuminates a planet with the mass of the Earth at a distance of 0.7AU. This planet has a radius twice that of the Earth and absorbs a power of 2.82*1019 W. a) What is the planet’s albedo? The constant in Wien’s law is 2.9*10-3 m x K b) Assuming the equilibrium temperature is approximately that...

Assume that star A and star B have the same mass and each moves in a small circular path in response to an orbiting planet. Star B's path takes only half the time to go all the way around. What is the orbital radius of Star B's planet? Express it as a ratio to the orbital radius of Star A's planet. Hint: Kepler's 3rd law relates a planet's orbital period to its orbital radius. Notice that the two stars have...
