question. It will be graded following the requirements for a good scientific graph outlined in Lab 1 (12 points), along with the quality of your two estimates (2 points each). Main Sequence Luminosity (in solar units) 0.5 1.0 2.9 6.6 13 16 25 Upload Choose a File Star Mass (in solar masses) 0.85 1.0 1.3 1.6 1.9 2.2 2.5
Using the table below, construct a graph of main sequence luminosity (y-axis) versus mass (x-axis), drawing a best fit curve to your data. On your graph extrapolate the expected luminosity of a 3.0 solar mass star, and interpolate the mass of a star whose luminosity is 10 solar units. Write both of these directly onto your graph (as a sentence for each clearly stating the estimated value - don't just circle the data point on the graph). Upload your graph (along with the extrapolation/interpolation) as the answer to this
