Career questions tagged astrophysics
Last year I wanted to become an astrophysicist, but because of the small chances that I might be able to pursue that career in this country, I started researching other careers that might spark an interest in me. This year I found a great interest in medicine, specifically neurosurgeon, so now I'm stuck between two amazing careers in two different fields. I want to know if it's possible to study both careers or what to do if you can't decide between which career to choose??
I just started the FET phase in high school and I'm feeling the pressure of having to decide on what career I'm going to do for the rest of my life,so I really want to know what to do when faced with this situation?

How can I calculate the luminosity of the wolf-rayet star Regor (Gama velorum) if i'm using the inverse square law but need the luminosity of this star in watts. How can I convert this value of its luminosity, (170,000 L☉) to watts I've been trying to figure out how to calculate this in order to convert it into my equation of b= L / (4pi d^2) if b= apparent brightness L= luminosity of star (in watts) d= distance to the star (in meters) Please let me know, thank you!?
Please guide me of how to convert this correctly and properly address the answer and how to get it.
