large and luminosity
Stars of roughly 0. 5 – 10 solar masses become red giants: large non-main sequence stars of stellar classification K or M. Red giants lie along the right edge of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram due to their red color and large luminosity.
Fomalhaut's mass is about 1. 92 times that of the Sun, its luminosity is about 16. 6 times greater, and its diameter is roughly 1. 84 times as large.
Gamma-ray bursts, novae and supernovae are examples of systems exceeding their Eddington luminosity by a large factor for very short times, resulting in short and highly intensive mass loss rates.
Apart from this, because of their large radii and luminosities, giant stars lie above the main sequence ( luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification ) on the Hertzsprung – Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II or III.
However, this extreme luminosity would also explain the large radio signal.
The ratio of the number of globular clusters to the total luminosity of the galaxy is high compared to the Milky Way and similar galaxies with small bulges, but the ratio is comparable to other galaxies with large bulges.

It has expanded until it is some 95 times as large, and has a total luminosity of 1500 times that of the Sun.
In spite of its cooler temperature, Deneb Kaitos is much brighter than the Sun with a bolometric luminosity of about 145 times the luminosity of the Sun, resulting from a radius 18 times as large as the Sun and a mass that is 2. 8 times the Sun's mass.
large x-ray to optical luminosity, no radio emission detected by the sensitive
Because of their large mass and high luminosity, their lifetime is very short — only a few million years in total and much less than a million years in the LBV phase.
This is a particular issue with the faint objects in calculating a luminosity function, as their smaller maximum volume means that a large-scale structure therein will have a large impact.
This stellar mass loss was first discovered using rocket-borne telescopes in the 1960s, but the IUE allowed astronomers to observe a very large number of stars, allowing the first proper studies of how stellar mass loss is related to mass and luminosity.
Opinions differ as to when this " hot spotting " begins to be distracting, but most viewers do not notice differences as large as 30 % in the image luminosity, unless presented with a test image and asked to look for variations in brightness.

Over the energy range 0. 8 – 1. 2 keV, its X-ray luminosity is L < sub > x </ sub > = with a large L < sub > x </ sub > to L < sub > bol </ sub > of log L < sub > x </ sub >/ L < sub > bol </ sub > = – 6. 53 from ASCA measurements.

large and quasars
Several dozen nearby large galaxies, with no sign of a quasar nucleus, have been shown to contain a similar central black hole in their nuclei, so it is thought that all large galaxies have one, but only a small fraction emit powerful radiation and so are seen as quasars.
It was only until the 1960s that major problems with the Steady State theory began to emerge, when observations apparently supported the idea that the universe was in fact changing: quasars and radio galaxies were found only at large distances ( therefore existing only in the distant past ), not in closer galaxies.
Using VLBI in this manner requires large numbers of time difference measurements from distant sources ( such as quasars ) observed with a global network of antennas over a period of time.
However, the distances between quasars and the telescopes which detect them are large, which means that the expansion of the universe causes light to undergo noticeable redshifting.
It was chosen for this purpose because its microwave radio emissions are observable with a large radio telescope network on the ground in such a manner that its precise position can be related by interferometry to distant quasars.
From there, the theory is one of hierarchical structure formation: the smaller gravitationally bound structures form first – large early stars collapse to form black holes, which may join other black holes to form quasars, active galactic nuclei, and galaxies, followed by groups, clusters and superclusters of galaxies.
Since these surveys observe radiation emitted from galaxies and quasars, they do not directly measure the dark matter, but the large scale distribution of galaxies ( and of absorption lines in the Lyman-α forest ) is expected to closely mirror the distribution of dark matter.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey had challenged the current understanding of cosmology by finding black hole candidates in very bright quasars at large distances.

Although we continue to pay our conversational devotions to `` free private enterprise '', `` individual initiative '', `` the democratic way '', `` government of the people '', `` competition of the marketplace '', etc., we live rather comfortably in a society in which economic competition is diminishing in large areas, bureaucracy is corroding representative government, technology is weakening the citizen's confidence in his own power to make decisions, and the threat of war is driving him economically and physically into the ground ''.
Third, the United States is pressing forward in the development of large rocket engines to place vehicles of many tons into space for exploration purposes.
