B8v (a) / k0iv (b) / a5v (c)
The spectral class is A0Va.
Antares has a spectral class of M1LB.
No, Algol and Rigel are not the same color. Algol, a binary star system, primarily consists of a blue-white giant and has a spectral type of B8, giving it a bluish hue. In contrast, Rigel is a blue supergiant with a spectral type of B8 Ia, also appearing blue but is much brighter and larger than Algol. The differences in their sizes and luminosities contribute to their distinct appearances in the night sky.
Spectral class Y, which is typical of "brown dwarf" stars.
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.
Algol (Demon Star) is a bright star in the constellation Perseus.Algol is actually a triple star system - Beta Persei A, B, and CBeta Persei A has a spectral type of B8 and is a blue-white giantBeta Persei B has a spectral type of K0 and is an orange subgiantSee related link for more information.
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.
Two stars of the same spectral class must have the same temperature and color. This classification system groups stars based on their temperature, with each spectral class representing a specific range of temperatures.
A star with a spectral class of O is classified as a Blue Star. A red star will have a spectral class of M See related question
The spectral class letters in astronomy represent the temperature and color of stars. The sequence starts with O (hottest and bluest stars) and ends with M (coolest and reddest stars). The spectral class letters are O, B, A, F, G, K, and M.
Spectral class is the categorization of stars by temperature and size, mostly the former. Spectral class B is very hot. In descending order (hottest to coolest) the spectral classes are O,B,A,F,G,K,M. You can see that B is very near the top.
