ASTRONOMY, Division C
DESCRIPTION: Students will demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts of mathematics and physics relating to stellar evolution and Type II supernova events.
A TEAM OF UP TO: 2 APPROXIMATE TIME: 50 minutes
THE COMPETITION: Each team is permitted to bring two laptops, or two 3-ring binders, or one laptop computer and one 3-ring binder (any size) containing information in any form from any source. The materials must be 3-hole punched and inserted into the rings (notebook sleeves are allowable). Each team member is permitted to bring a programmable calculator. No Internet access is allowed.

Using information which may include Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, spectra, light curves, motions, cosmological distance equations and relationships, stellar magnitudes and classification, multi-wavelength images (X-ray, UV, optical, IR, radio), charts, graphs, animations and DS9 imaging analysis software, participants will be asked to complete activities which include the following:
Use all available information to determine answers relating to stellar evolution, including stellar nurseries and star formation, proto-stars, main sequence stars, Cepheid variables, semiregular variables, red supergiants, neutron stars, magnetars, pulsars, Wolf-Rayet stars, stellar mass black holes, x-ray binary systems, and Type II supernovas.
Use all available information, including Kepler’s laws, rotation and circular motion to determine answers relating to the orbital motions of binary and multiple star systems; use parallax, spectroscopic parallax, and the distance modulus to calculate distances to Cepheid variables.
Students should be knowledgeable about the properties and characteristics of the stages of stellar evolution listed above, including spectral features and chemical composition, luminosity, blackbody radiation, color index (B-V), and H-R diagram transitions.
Students will be asked to identify, know the location, be knowledgeable about, and/or answer questions relating to the three content areas outlined above for the following Objects: Cas A, IGR J17091, NGC 6888/WR 136, PSR J0108-1431, Cygnus X-1, SXP 1062, M1, Delta Cep,V838 Mon, α Orionis, SN 2010JL, NGC 3582, LHa115-N19, IC 1396, Antares, the rhoOphiuchi cloud complex
