L M3.5 Why?
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Higher mass means higher internal pressure
|
|
|
• |
Higher pressure goes with higher temperature
|
|
|
• |
Higher temperature means heat leaks out faster
|
|
• |
Star shrinks until T inside is high enough for
|
|
|
fusion rate (which is very sensitive to
|
|
|
temperature) to balance heat leak rate
