It refers to their spectral type.

The next sequence of letters following OBAFGKM in the spectral classification system are L, T, Y. These letters are used to classify cooler and less luminous stars outside the main sequence, such as brown dwarfs.
Using the classification system of OBAFGKM for star color (from blue to white to orange-red), Antares is an "M".

Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me . . . Additional spectral categories have been defined for many stars, designated R, N, and S. These can easily be added to the mnemonic phrase above: . . . . . Right Now, Smack .
It shows certain key characteristics (brightness, and temperature) of stars.

Ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, radio.
Stars can be described by their temperature, size (diameter), brightness (luminosity), color, composition, and age. These characteristics help scientists classify and study stars in the universe.
The spectral type of a star (OBAFGKM) are based on spectral emissions and have no real relationship with size.
The five characteristics used to describe stars are: luminosity (brightness), temperature, size (radius), mass, and composition (chemical elements present).

One possible acronym for the star classification OBAFGKM is "Oh-Be-A-Fine-Girl-Kiss-Me." Each letter represents a different spectral type of stars, ranging from the hottest and most luminous (O) to the coolest and least luminous (M).
