Answer:
Analyze the Characteristics of a Star
Explanation:
Surface Temperature
First, you want to determine the color of the star - this can determine the heat and age of the star.
Second, you want to measure the spectrum and get the spectral type.
Chemical Composition
Determine which lines are present in the spectrum.
Luminosity
Measure the apparent brightness and compensate for distance
Radical Velocity
Measure the Doppler shift in the spectrum.
Rotation
Measure the width of spectral lines.
Mass
Measure the period and radial velocity curves of spectroscopic binary stars.
Diameter
1. Measure the way a star’s light is blocked by the Moon.
2. Measure the light curves and Doppler shifts for eclipsing binary stars.
