Sirius is a double star. The brighter component ... the one you actually notice
in the night sky ... is spectral class A1V. The faint 'secondary' component is
spectral class DA2.
Sirius A has a spectral type of A1V. So it has a colour of white to white blue.
Sirius is classified as an A-type main sequence star. It is specifically categorized as an A1V star, with a surface temperature of about 9,940 K.
The spectral lines of Sirius are blueshifted because the star is moving more or less toward us.
Sirius is a binary star. Sirius A has a spectral type of A1V and will appear on the HR in the top left corner. Sirius B has a spectral type of DA2 and will appear on the HR in the bottom left corner as a white dwarf.
The spectral class is A0Va.
Antares has a spectral class of M1LB.
Spectral class Y, which is typical of "brown dwarf" stars.
Sirius is a binary star system Sirius A and Sirius B.The distance separating Sirius A from B varies between 8.1 and 31.5 AU. (See related question).
Sirius B is a white dwarf and has a spectral type of DA2. As it is a white dwarf, it is cooling all the time. It's current temperature is about 25,200 K
Sirius is a binary system, that appears as a single star from EarthSirius A has an absolute magnitude of 1.42Sirius A has an apparent magnitude of -1.46Sirius B has an absolute magnitude of 11.18Sirius B has an apparent magnitude of 8.3See related question for the difference between absolute and apparent.
Spectral class is a classification system for stars based on their temperature and spectral characteristics. It categorizes stars into different groups, such as O, B, A, F, G, K, and M, with O being the hottest and M being the coolest. Spectral class is indicated by a letter, with additional subtype information denoted by a number.
The O spectral class is the highest temperature class. Stars in this class are extremely hot and blue in color, with surface temperatures exceeding 30,000 K.
