   Linked via "solar-type stars"

   The lifespan of a star (astronomical object)/) is inversely proportional to its initial mass, dictated by the rate at which it consumes its nuclear fuel. The relationship between stellar mass ($M$) and luminosity ($L$) is approximated by the mass-luminosity relation:
   $$L \propto M^{\alpha}$$
   where $\alpha$ is typically found to be between $3$ and $4$ for solar-type stars.
