Hey everyone,
This is my first post on this forum. Please tell me if I do some mistake. :)
So, there is my question ; I have search a long time on the web but I don't find any answer...
Why the metallicity influences the effective temperature and the luminosity of a star ?
I read somewhere that the more metallic star, the more opaque the atmosphere. Because there are more transition lines available for photons to be absorbed or something like it.
But I don't see why this implies a change in luminosity or temperature.
Any idea ? Thanks a million ! :)
Have a nice day !
