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.
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).
Those are codes for spectral types - roughly, the color of the stars.
The amount of time between successive passes of the star Sirius across the meridian is 23 hrs 56 minutes.
The spectral type of a star (OBAFGKM) are based on spectral emissions and have no real relationship with size.
the relationship between a star's luminosity, temperature, absolute magnitude, and spectral type.
Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell,working independently, realized the relationship between a star's temperature and its brightness.Together, in 1910, they formed what is now known as the Hertzsprung--Russell diagram or HR Diagram.It's a scatter graph showing the relationship between a star's absolute magnitudes, their spectral types and temperatures.

The HR Diagram compares the relationship between the stars' absolute magnitudes or luminosities versus their spectral types or classifications and effective temperatures.

Spectral Type O.

The spectral type of a star is what measures its chemical composition. The visible light that bounces off of it can be used to determine the composition.
Spectral type M Stars
