Redshift Equation Recall the Doppler effect is defined as: The apparent change in wavelength or frequency of the radiation from a source due to its relative motion away from or toward the observer ...
Doppler Shift If a wave source is stationary, the wavefronts spread out symmetrically If the wave source is moving, the waves can become squashed together or stretched out If the wave source is mov...
The Life Cycle of Stars The life cycle of stars go in predictable stages The exact route a star's development takes depends on its initial mass Initial Stages for All Masses The first four stages i...

The Hertzsprung - Russell Diagram Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung, and American astronomer Henry Noris Russell, independently plotted the luminosity of different stars against their temperature...
Determining distance using standard candles Standard Candles A standard candle is defined as: An astronomical object which has a known luminosity due to a characteristic quality possessed by that c...
Determining Distance using Parallax The principle of parallax is based on how the position of an object appears to change as the position of the observer changes For example, when observing the sca...
Inverse Square Law of Flux The moment the light leaves the surface of the star, it begins to spread out uniformly through a spherical shell Light sources which are further away appear fainter becau...
Wien's Law Wien’s displacement law relates the observed wavelength of light from an object to its surface temperature, it states: The black body radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at ...
