What are the very bright starts in the upper right of an h-r diagram called?
Hot stars are found in the left hand side of the diagram, cool stars the right, bright stars at the top, and lastly the faint stars are located at the bottom.
What do you call a collection stars?
This is not a question. There are hundreds of stars in the Universe. Some stars even form many constellations.
What is a H-R diagram and what two characteristics of stars are compared on it?
It is a diagram on which stars are plotted according to their absolute magnitudes (or luminosities) against their stellar classifications (or effective temperatures).
The region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram with the most stars is the what?
The main sequence - the region across the middle of the diagram.
Type of stars in the H-R diagram?
The HR diagram has the star's temperature along the horizontal axis and the absolute magnitude (brightness) along the vertical axis. Each star is represented by a single dot. Higher temperature is usually associated with more brightness so many stars lie on or near a line on the diagram called the Main Sequence. Red giant stars are found on the upper right hand quarter because they are relatively cool but still very bright.
What is a diagonal band of stars on the H-R diagram?
Main sequence stars.
Most of the stars on the HR Diagram are classified as which type of star?
stars there called stars
Are most of the stars on the HR diagram are classified as which type of star?
stars there called stars
Which region contains the most stars in the HR Diagram?
Several regions of the HR diagram have been given names, although stars can occupy any portion. The brightest stars are called supergiants. Star clusters are rich in stars just off the main sequence called red giants. Main sequence stars are called dwarfs.
What is a specific pattern of stars?
An specific pattern of stars could be called a constellation.
What graph shows the relationship of a stars absolute magnitude and its temperature?
Its called an HR diagram or a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
A pattern of stars in the sky?
A pattern of stars in the sky is called a Constellation!(: The name for a pattern of stars is an Asterism, of which the named Constellations are some but not all.
What are the very bright starts in the upper right of an h-r diagram called?
Hot stars are found in the left hand side of the diagram, cool stars the right, bright stars at the top, and lastly the faint stars are located at the bottom.
Henry Norris Russell and Ejnar Hertzprung?
In the early 20th century, Danish astrophysicist Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astrophysicist Henry Norris Russell independently developed a graph now known as the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram, which plots absolute brightness against spectral type. In this diagram, the brightest stars lie near the top of the diagram and the hottest stars lie to the left. On the H-R diagram, most of the stars, including the Sun, fall along a diagonal line that goes from the upper left to the lower right of the diagram. This line called the main sequence.The great majority of stars neighboring the Sun fall on the lower part of the H-R diagram's main sequence, and relatively few lie on the portion of the main sequence above the Sun. This means that most of the Sun's neighboring stars are both cooler and fainter (in absolute magnitude) than the Sun. A smaller population of brighter but cooler stars known as supergiants occupies the uppermost region of the diagram. Some stars, which are difficult to discover because they are so intrinsically faint, lie near the bottom of the H-R diagram. These faint stars are called white dwarfs.
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 kind is stars are shown along the middle of the HR diagram?
The curve that currently contains most stars on the HR diagram is called the "main sequence". It consists of those stars that fuse hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
Why is the hr diagram important to scientist?
The main reason that the HR Diagram is so useful and important to scientists is, you can tell the size of the star by plotting it on the HR Diagram. The different sizes of stars form a pattern on the HR diagram.
