| • | Q2. Spectroscopic parallax. (Apparent) |
||||||||||
| magnitude
= 5.4 for an O6 V star. How far |
|||||||||||
| away
is it? First need to get an absolute |
|||||||||||
| magnitude. Can estimate it several ways |
|||||||||||
| (H-R
diagrams, mass-luminosity relation).
I |
|||||||||||
| used
M = -5.6. So: |
|||||||||||
| • | d (pc) = 10 (m-M+5)/5 = 103.2 = 1585 parsecs |
