L = area T4
= 4 R2

|
– |
Stars can be intrinsically bright because of
either large R or large T
|
|
|
– |
Use ratio equations to simplify above equation

(Note book’s symbol for Sun is circle with dot
inside)
|
|
|
|
– |
Example: Assume T is
different but size is same
|
|
|
• |
A star is ~ 2 as hot as sun, expect L is 24 = 16
times as bright
|
|
|
|
|
• |
M star is ~1/2 as hot as sun, expect L is 2-4
= 1/16 as bright
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
B star is ~ 4 as hot as sun, expect L is 44
= 256 times as bright
|

– |
Example: Assume T same but
size is different
|
|
|
• |
If a G star 4 as large as sun, expect L would be 42=16
times as bright
