Hello, I just have a few questions, please.
1) How can it be that 40 Eridani is 3,300 K hotter than our Sun yet only emits 1/100th the energy of our Sun? In other words, what is likely to be true of 40 Eridani's physical make-up? (Is it that it is bigger????)
2)How can it be that Antares is 2300 K cooler than our Sun, and yet emits a total energy equal to 4,400 suns?
3)What would have been the thoughts of Henry Russell when he started to discover these stars? (this i think i can handle but I'm not so sure)
THANKS!!!
