... • Stars generate luminosity through fusion of H into He • The lifetime of a star is proportional to the amount of fuel it has (mass) divided by the rate at which it expends the fuel (luminosity) • The lifetime τ ~ M/L ~ M-2 (because L ~ M3) • τ ranges from 4x106 years for O stars to ~1012 years ...
