    The document discusses several laws and equations relating to astrophysics. Boltzmann's law describes the radiation emitted by an object based on its temperature. The luminosity of a star can be calculated from its temperature and radius using Stefan-Boltzmann law. Newton's version of Kepler's third law defines the relationship between the period of an orbit, the radius of the orbit, and the total mass of the two objects involved in the orbiting system.

    ● Boltzmann law states energy radiated per second per m​3​ is sigma *T​4

    ● Energy radiated by star is sigma *T​4​*area of the star = 4*pi*r​2​*sigma*T​4​ watts

    ● R​star1​/R​star2​=(L​star1​/L​star2​)​½​*T​2​star1​/T​2​star2

    ● Newton's version of Kepler's third law is defined as: P​2​ = 4π​2​A​3​/G * (M1+M2), in

    which T is the period of orbit, R is the radius of orbit, G is the gravitational

    constant and M1 and M2 are the two masses involved. This is a more precise

    version of Kepler's third law.

    ● (M1+M2) = 4π​2​/G *A​3​/P​2
