    Assignment 4: The Classification of Stellar Spectra

    (Due: 3:00 pm, 26 May 2015; Bring to Tutorial)



    Important Instructions:
    A. Define every symbol you introduce, unless they are common symbols or as defined in the question.
    If you are not sure whether they are common symbols, define it!
    B. Lay out each step clearly and logically. Points will be deducted if you skip or do not clearly explain
    chains of logic, even if you arrive at the correct answer.
    C. The total mark is 100.



    1. [10 marks]



    2. [20 marks]



    3. [10 marks]

    (Do the calculations, not just copy the answers from the lecture notes.)

    4. [30 marks]



    5. [10 marks]



    6. [10 marks]



    7. [10 marks]
    Why, based on physical reasons, can you safely ignore high-order terms of the partition
    function? You may refer to the individual terms of the partition function for hydrogen in the
    solar photosphere as computed in the lecture notes to illustrate your answer.
