I was given data that was used from studying many spiral galaxies and consisted of
the mass of all types a distribution of
stars stellar mass and the percentage of how many of that type of star is found in spiral galaxies.
For example, the most common type of star found in spiral galaxies is around 0.5 solar mass.' In order to find out the percentage of mass and luminosity,
we I had to use the percentage of
type of stars stellar mass to completely understand the population distribution.
Below is a graph of The figure 'Most Common Luminosities" shows the most common luminosities of spiral galaxies. Because the mass of the galaxy never changes with age, I did not include a graph of that. As you can see from the below figure, the stars that contribute the most luminosity are the most massive stars.
This is important because the most massive stars leave the main sequence first and their luminosity will Unlike what we observe with galaxies today, there are no
longer giant stars, which contribute
to most of the
total luminosity of
the galaxy. a galaxy, so our mass/luminosity ratio won't be believable.
