Using the table below, construct a graph of main sequence luminosity (y-axis) versus mass (x-axis), drawing a best fit curve to your data. On your graph extrapolate the expected luminosity of a 3.0 solar mass star, and interpolate the mass of a star whose luminosity is 10 solar units. Write both of these directly onto your graph (as a sentence for each clearly stating the estimated value - don't just circle the data point on the graph). Upload your graph (along with the extrapolation/interpolation) as the answer to this question. It will be graded following the requirements for a good scientific graph outlined in Lab 1 (12 points), along with the quality of your two estimates (2 points each).
