Temperature changes relatively simple
|
|
|
|
– |
Starts out large and relatively cool Must be on red side of diagram
|
|
|
– |
It heats up as it contracts Must towards the blue
|
|
|
• |
Luminosity more complicated because it depends on
T and R
|
|
|
|
– |
Not much energy to start with Luminosity must start out low
|
|
|
|
– |
Collapse releases grav. energy Luminosity will rise
|
|
|
|
– |
Fusion begins, releases more energy Luminosity at a peak
|
|
|
|
– |
Collapse slows, only have fusion now Luminosity declines
|
|
|
• |
Finally stabilizes on the main sequence
