Why is there no neurton stars in the hr diagram?

Of course they are on the HR diagram. They are simply not on the main sequence.


Which part of the main sequence in the HR diagram contains the stars that took the longest to reach the main sequence?

The lower right part of the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram contains the stars that took the longest to reach the main sequence. These stars are low mass and cool, so they undergo a longer contraction phase before they start fusing hydrogen in their cores and settle onto the main sequence.


What do you understand by main sequence stars?

In the HR-diagram, a diagram of color vs. luminosity, most stars are concentrated close to one curve, called the "main sequence". It turns out that stars on the main sequence are the stars that mainly get their energy by converting hydrogen into helium.

What is the relationship between luminosity and temperature for main sequence stars?

On such a diagram, those stars lie on a curve called the "main sequence". It is not a simple relationship - for example, it isn't a straight line on the diagram. Therefore, it isn't easy to describe in words. It's best if you look up "Main sequence", for example on the Wikipedia, and look at the corresponding diagram.


Where a main sequence star is located on the H-R diagram depends on its temperature and its?

The location of a main sequence star on the H-R diagram depends on its temperature and its luminosity (or brightness). Main sequence stars follow a diagonal band on the diagram, with hotter and more luminous stars located towards the top left and cooler and less luminous stars towards the bottom right.
