Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

H5. A star with mass 1.05 M has a luminosity of 4.49 × 1026 W and effective temperature of 5700 K. It dims to 4.42 × 1026 W every 1.39 Earth days due to a transiting exoplanet. The duration of the transit reveals that the exoplanet orbits at a distance of 0.0617 AU. Based on this information, calculate the radius of the planet (expressed in Jupiter radii) and the minimum inclination of its orbit to our line of sight. Follow up observations of the star in part reveal that a spectral feature with a rest wavelength of 656 nm is redshifted by 1.41×10−3 nm with the same period as the observed transit. Assuming a circular orbit what can be inferred about the planet’s mass (expressed in Jupiter masses)?
Calculate how long radio communications from the spacecraft will take when it encounters Mars. The furthest distance from Earth to Mars is 2.66 AU. Remember that 1 AU = 1.5 x 1011 m and that light travels at 3 x 108 m/s. So how long will the radio messages take to travel this greatest distance of 2.66 AU? If two way communication between the Earth and the spacecraft involve a 1 s time lapse before an acknowledging signal is sent by the spacecraft, how long a time is there between sending a command to the spacecraft and receiving a reply?

9) An interstellar cloud fragment 0.2 light-year in diameter is rotating at a rate of one revolution per million years. It now begins to collapse. Assuming that the mass remains constant, estimate the cloud's rotation period when it has shrunk to (a) the size of the solar nebula, 100 AU across, and (b) the size of Earth's orbit, 2 AU across. (answers: 0.016 revolutions per year, and an orbital period of 62.5 years, This is 40 revolutions per year, and an orbital period of 0.025 years, or just a little over 9 days)
A day on Splorg lasts the equivalent of 31.7 hours. At the equator, Splorg has a circumference of 54,660 km. It takes a 2 kg mass exactly 0.56 s to fall a distance of 2 m at the surface of Splorg. At what radial distance would you need to orbit a satellite so that it always remained at the same location above the Splorigian equator (i.e. in splorgeosynchronous orbit)? At what velocity does the spacecraft need to reach in order for it to escape the gravity of Splorg.
A planet (in another galaxy) takes 5 000 Earth days to complete one full revolution around its own star (not the Sun). It is exactly as far away from its star as Earth is to its own Sun.

The gravitational collapse time for the Sun is a constraint on the timescale for the formation of the Solar System: Using the mass of the Sun and a 6.67 X10-11 in S.I. units (m, kg, sec) as the value for G, calculate the gravitational collapse time in millions of years for the mass of the Sun in a nebula with radius 4 light years.
