Question:
Consider a star with the following properties: 19 solar masses during its protostar stage, 16 solar masses during its main sequence life, and a 6 solar mass remnant at the end of its life. Describe the life cycle of this star. Begin at the spinning giant molecular.
I have no idea where to start...Please point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Answer:
its not logical for a star to lost 13 solar masses during its life but if it was i think when it was the giant molecular clouds because of the heavy mass the angular momentum was not constant any more and 3 solar masses has explode out as solar wind from protostar to the space (and that would makes the planets)
the star was 10000000 years on the main sequence after that it going to be a yellow giant after a short time its going to be a red giant after that super nova and netron star (cause it is 6 solar masses)

Rigel is close to this (I picked off the top of my head). It is a blue supergiant from the top of the H-R diagram (Ib)
