CHAPTER 44: Astrophysics and Cosmology
Responses to Questions
1. The Milky Way appears murky or milky to the naked eye, and so before telesopes !ere used it
!as thou"ht to be loud#like. When $ie!ed !ith a telesope, muh of the murkiness is resol$ed
into stars and star lusters, so !e no lon"er onsider the Milky Way to be milky.
2. %f a star "enerates more ener"y in its interior than it radiates a!ay, its temperature !ill inrease.
&onse'uently, there !ill be "reater out!ard pressure opposin" the "ra$itational fore direted
in!ard. To re"ain e'uilibrium, the star !ill e(pand. %f a star "enerates less ener"y than it radiates
a!ay, then its temperature !ill derease. There !ill be a smaller out!ard pressure opposin" the
"ra$itational fore direted in!ard, and, in order to re"ain e'uilibrium, the star !ill ontrat.
). *ed "iants are e(tremely lar"e stars !ith relati$ely ool surfae temperatures, resultin" in their
reddish olors. These stars are $ery luminous beause they are so lar"e. When the +un beomes a
red "iant, for instane, its radius !ill be on the order of the distane from the ,arth to the +un. - red
"iant has run out of hydro"en in its inner ore and is fusin" hydro"en to helium in a shell
surroundin" the ore. *ed "iants ha$e left their main se'uene positions on the ./* dia"ram and
mo$ed up 0more luminous1 and to the ri"ht 0ooler1.
4. - star mo$in" alon" arro! 21 !ould inrease in luminosity
!hile maintainin" the same surfae temperature. %t !ould
therefore also ha$e to inrease in si3e, sine eah s'uare
meter of its surfae !ould ha$e the same olor and therefore
same ener"y output as before. - star mo$in" alon" arro! 22
!ould inrease in luminosity and derease in temperature. %t
!ould also inrease in si3e, sine it !ould need to produe a
"reater luminosity e$en thou"h eah unit area of its surfae
!ould no! be produin" less ener"y. - star mo$in" alon"
arro! 2) maintains the same luminosity !hile inreasin" its
surfae temperature. %t !ill beome smaller, sine a unit area
of this star !ill inrease its ener"y and therefore a smaller
o$erall area !ill be needed to maintain the same luminosity.
- star mo$in" alon" arro! 24 dereases in both surfae temperature and luminosity. 4inally, a star
mo$in" alon" arro! 25 !ill derease in luminosity !hile maintainin" the same surfae temperature
and dereasin" in si3e. 5ote that these arro!s do not neessarily represent natural paths for stars
on the ./* dia"ram.
5. The ./* dia"ram is a plot of luminosity $ersus surfae temperature of a star and therefore does not
diretly tell us anythin" about the ore of a star. .o!e$er, !hen onsidered in on6untion !ith
theories of stellar e$olution, the ./* dia"ram does relate to the interior of a star. 4or instane, all
main se'uene stars are fusin" hydro"en to helium in their ores, so the loation of a partiular star
on the main se'uene does "i$e us that information.
7. The fate of a star depends on the mass of the star remainin" after the red "iant phase. %f the mass is
less than about 1.4 solar masses, the star !ill beome a !hite d!arf. %f the mass is "reater than this
limit, than the e(lusion priniple applied to eletrons is not enou"h to hold the star up a"ainst its
o!n "ra$ity and it ontinues to ontrat, e$entually beomin" a neutron star or, if its mass at this
sta"e is more than t!o or three solar masses, a blak hole.

9. :es. .otter stars are found on the main se'uene abo$e and to the left of ooler stars. %f ./*
dia"rams of lusters of stars are ompared, it is found that older lusters are missin" the upper left
portions of their main se'uenes. -ll the stars in a "i$en luster are formed at about the same time,
and the absene of the hotter main se'uene stars in a luster indiates that they ha$e shorter li$es
and ha$e already used up their ore hydro"en and beome red "iants. %n fat, the turn#off point, or
point at !hih the upper end of the main se'uene stops, an be used to determine the a"es of
lusters.
;. The baseline used in measurin" paralla(es from the ,arth is the distane from the ,arth to the +un.
0+ee 4i"ure 44#11.1 %f you !ere measurin" paralla(es from the Moon instead, you !ould need to
make a sli"ht orretion based on the position of the Moon !ith respet to the ,arth/+un line at the
time of the measurement. %f you !ere measurin" paralla(es from Mars, you !ould need to use the
distane from Mars to the +un as the baseline. %n addition, you !ould need to !ait half a Martian
year bet!een measurements instead of half an ,arth year.
8. Wath the star o$er a period of se$eral days and determine its period throu"h obser$ation. <se the
kno!n relationship bet!een period and luminosity to find its absolute luminosity. &ompare its
absolute luminosity to its apparent luminosity 0obser$ed1 to determine the distane to the "ala(y in
!hih it is loated.
1=. - "eodesi is the shortest distane bet!een t!o points. 4or instane, on a flat plane the shortest
distane bet!een t!o points is a strai"ht line, and on the surfae of a sphere the shortest distane is
an ar of a "reat irle. -ordin" to "eneral relati$ity, spae/time is ur$ed. >eterminin" the nature
of a "eodesi, for instane by obser$in" the motion of a body or li"ht near a lar"e mass, !ill help
determine the nature of the ur$ature of spae/time there.
11. %f the redshift of spetral lines of "ala(ies !ere diso$ered to be due to somethin" other than
e(pansion of the uni$erse, then the ?i" ?an" theory and the idea that the uni$erse is e(pandin"
!ould be alled into 'uestion. .o!e$er, the e$idene of the osmi bak"round miro!a$e
radiation !ould onflit !ith this $ie!, unless it too !as determined to result from some ause other
than e(pansion.
12. 5o. %n an e(pandin" uni$erse, all "ala(ies are mo$in" a!ay from all other "ala(ies on a lar"e sale.
0@n a small sale, nei"hborin" "ala(ies may be "ra$itationally bound to eah other.1 Therefore, the
$ie! from any "ala(y !ould be the same. @ur obser$ations do not indiate that !e are at the enter.
0+ee 4i"ure 44#2).1
1). They !ould appear to be reedin". %n an e(pandin" uni$erse, the distanes bet!een "ala(ies are
inreasin", and so the $ie! from any "ala(y is that all other "ala(ies are mo$in" a!ay.
14. -n e(plosion on ,arth !ould be affeted by the ,arthAs "ra$ity and air resistane. ,ah piee of
debris !ould at like a pro6etile, !ith its indi$idual initial $eloity. More distant partiles !ould not
spread at a hi"her speed. This orresponds some!hat to a losed uni$erse, in !hih the "ala(ies
e$entually stop and then all ome bak to"ether a"ain. %n the ase of the e(plosion on ,arth, most of
the partiles !ould e$entually stop. Most !ould land on the "round. +ome mi"ht esape into spae.
The partiles !ould not all reassemble, as in the bi" runh.

The 2.9 G blakbody ur$e peaks at a !a$elen"th of about 9.)5 m, in the miro!a$e re"ion. The
temperature of this radiation is lo! beause the ener"y spread out o$er an inreasin"ly lar"e $olume

21. The initial ?i" ?an" !as not perfetly symmetri. >e$iations in the symmetry enabled the

0%1 The 4ermi ener"y for nuleons !ould be a similar e(pression, but the mass !ould be the mass
of a nuleon instead of the mass of the eletron. 5uleons are about 2=== times hea$ier than
eletrons, so the 4ermi ener"y for the nuleons !ould be on the order of 1D1=== the 4ermi
ener"y for the eletrons. We !ill i"nore that small orretion.
To alulate the potential ener"y of the star, think about the
mass in terms of shells. &onsider the inner portion of the
star !ith radius r P R and mass m, surrounded by a shell of
thikness dr and mass dM. +ee the dia"ram. 4rom IaussAs
la! applied to "ra$ity, the "ra$itational effets of the inner
portion of the star on the shell are the same as if all of its
mass !ere at the "eometri enter. Like!ise, the
spherially#symmetri outer portion of the star has no
"ra$itational effet on the shell. Thus the "ra$itational
ener"y of the inner portion/shel1 ombination is "i$en by a
