Redid the derivation of the hairy expression to make more sense

| Aug 27, 2020 at 16:26 | comment | added | LearnedStudent | If you get a chance, could you possibly help me understand the final part of the equation in your answer, specifically after the statement:"And then using the relation from (2)". I can follow the rest of the maths, I just can't follow the jump made for the final equation | |
| Aug 27, 2020 at 14:46 | comment | added | LearnedStudent | Interesting point, I just finished reading through you edit there. As you mention about T, it would be a good starting point as the ranges are already pretty clear from what I understand as it would need to be somewhere in between 5000 - 7000 K approx, and if I understand, next one would choose a mass expressed in Solar Masses within the range 0.43M⊙≤M<2M⊙ before plugging the numbers into the succeeding formulae? | |

Added how to get M in terms of T and why to start with T.

| Aug 27, 2020 at 14:12 | comment | added | LearnedStudent | That's really helpful, thank you for all of that. I had come across some of the points you mentioned here on wikipedia as well, however given your commentary and explanation I may be able to put them to better use. It's interesting that you mention Wein's displacement law as I was looking at that last night. The problem I had with it is that it puts the cart before the horse for what I'm trying to do as it (from what I understand) is used for determining star properties from a planet. However, I am yet to have a star to give life to a planet, if you follow? | |
