What are the four characteristics that scientists use to classify stars?

Stars are classified by four different characteristics. Apparent magnitude (brightness) and absolute magnitude (how bright it would appear at 10 parsecs from the earth). Luminosity, another measure of brightness, compares the star to the sun's brightness. Spectral classifications are measured by the star's temperatures. Finally stars are signed a number by scientists through the Morgan-Keenan System.
