Бележка
General note. Maybe not all problems have correct questions. Some questions (maybe the main question of the problem, maybe one of the subquestions) may make no real sense. In this case you have to write in your answer (in English or Russian): «impossible situation – ситуация невозможна». Of course, this answer has to be explained numerically or logically.
Data from the tables (Planetary data, stars, constants, etc.) may be used for solving every problem.
The answers «Да-Yes» or «Нет-No» have to be written in English or Russian.

Note for jury and team leaders
The proposed sketches are not full; the team leaders have to give more detailed explanations to students. But the correct solutions in the students’ papers (enough for 8 pts) may be shorter.

Условие
Astronomers have discovered a distant galaxy that in the Earth’s sky, at the first glance looks like ε Eridani, the same in colour, but 1000 times less in intensity. It appears, however, that this galaxy is composed only of stars similar to the Sun in physical characteristics. Find the number of stars in the galaxy.

Решение
The fact that the galaxy, consisting of yellow stars like the Sun, looks like the orange star ε Eridani indicates redshift. . According to Wien’s displacement law .
. Therefore, .
The approximate temperatures of the stars may be found from the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram,
Hence .
The galaxy is receding from us with a speed . km/s km/s.
According to Hubble’s law, , .
Thus, the galaxy is located at the distance 760 Mpc, and the fact that it looks like ε Eridani (), weakened in brightness by factor 1000 () allow us to conclude that (excluding the effect of the redshift) the absolute magnitude of the galaxy is:
Redshift leads to the fact that every photon coming to us loses some of the energy, ,
, , . This change the magnitude by
Thus, taking into account the effect of redshift, absolute magnitude of the galaxy is
The absolute magnitude of the Sun is , the difference is .
Using this value we can conclude that the total number of stars is or about 20 trillion stars.
Basic criteria for examiners.
Understanding about redshift, taking temperatures from Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, finding the receding with a speed, and the distance to the galaxy according Hubble law — 3 pt
Calculating necessary difference in stellar magnitudes — 3 pt
Taking into account effect of red shift that gives correction — 1 pt
Final result of number of stars — 2 pt
