Lifetime on the Main Sequence versus Mass Calculator
This Java calculator permits you to estimate the total main sequence lifetime of a star
as a function of
its mass. The calculator assumes a composition for the star similar to that of the Sun.
Usage:
Set the mass of the star (in solar masses) using the slider,
then click "Calculate" to plot the
corresponding point. Additional cases may be plotted in the same way.
"Clear" erases all data points.
