Picture1.jpgThe diagram above shows the life track of a 1 MSun protostar from the time it first begins to form until it reaches the main sequence, with four stages labeled. What is happening to the protostar’s surface temperature and luminosity during Stage 1, when gravity assembles the protostar from a collapsing cloud?
