Why can emission of gravitational waves lead to mergers of white
dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes?
A) Binary systems of compact objects experience the rapid
pulsations of the radiation, known as pulsars. The variability of
the light corresponds to the emission of the gravitational waves.
The merging corresponds to the rapid decreasing of the radius, i.e.
the merger of the compact object.
B) Compact objects have very large densities. When the compact
objects are very close, the matter falls...

Choose the correct statements from the following list referring
to white dwarfs.
A) White dwarfs cool slowly because they are small and eventually
fade-out to become black dwarfs.
B) The power source of white dwarfs is left-over heat.
C) White dwarfs are the coolest main sequence stars.
D) White dwarfs with mass greater than 1.4 times the Sun's mass
cannot exist.
E) Stars with a mass like the Sun will end up as a white dwarf
star.

The lower limit for the initial mass of single stars that become
neutron stars is equal to the upper limit for the initial mass of
single stars that become white dwarfs. This last limit can
be derived empirically from the study of a large number of
clusters. Can you invent a way to do this?

An amateur astronomer is researching statistical properties of
known stars using a variety of databases. They collect the absolute
magnitude or MV and stellar mass or M⊙ for 30 stars. The absolute
magnitude of a star is the intensity of light that would be
observed from the star at a distance of 10 parsecs from the star.
This is measured in terms of a particular band of the light
spectrum, indicated by the subscript letter, which in this case is...

Question 3
Using the data set below, determine if
there is a difference in the method of advertisement strategies
employed via sample products in (1) all color, (2) all
black-and-white, and (3) a combination of both. Utilize the
appropriate statistical test to examine if the three formats differ
in attactiveness, and explain the results you achieve as to whether
or not this is the case.
