Two students reading the HR-Diagram were asked to identify a group of stars that have a luminosity of 105 and belong in spectral class K.

Student A: The group of stars described are the White Dwarfs.

Student B: The group of stars described are the Supergiants.

Which evidence supports the answer to this question?

• White dwarfs are in the bottom left quadrant of the HR-Diagram where the luminosity is high.
• Supergiants are in the top right quadrant of the HR-Diagram where the luminosity is high.
• White Dwarfs and Supergiants span over the spectral class G through M.
• Supergiants are in the top right quadrant of the HR-Diagram where the luminosity is low.

Using the HR-Diagram, which two statements are correct?

• A. Canopus is a main sequence star with a high luminosity and a temperature of 6,000K.
• B. Regulus is a main sequence star with a temperature of 20,000K.
• C. Antares and Betelgeuse are both red giant stars.
• D. Sirius and Capella are main sequence stars with a luminosity similar to the Sun.
• E. Mira is a red giant star with a temperature of 3,000K.

White dwarfs have a _______ luminosity.

• high
• low
