Solar eclipse Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

 -1.5 magnitude Sirius appears 25x brighter than 2 magnitude Polaris.  “All neutron stars are pulsars, but not all pulsars are neutron stars” FALSE  “Spectroscopic Binary” is the term given to a pair of stars that we can determine are orbiting each other only by measuring their periodic Doppler shifts.  A 6.8 solar mass neutron star does NOT exist.  A loop of gas and charged particles following the magnetic field lines between sunspot’s poles is a Prominence/...

This exam is entirely multiple choice or true/false. A=T, B=F TRUE/FALSE. Write 'T' if the statement is true and 'F' if the statement is false. 1) The photosphere is about 100 times the diameter of the Earth, and large sunspots are larger than our whole planet. 1) 2) Granulation is the most obvious proof of solar convective energy transport. 2) 3) The solar corona is much cooler than the Sun's surface, hence we must wait for a total solar eclipse to glimpse it with the naked eye. 3) 4) ...
