How Stars Work: Ay 122 - Fall 2004 - Lecture 7
... An isolated, non-rotating star which does not contain strong magnetic fields will be spherically symmetric, i.e.: All quantities (e.g. density, temperature, pressure) depend only on the distance from the center of the star - radius r. Not a general property of all self-gravitating systems - e.g. an ...

A Spectroscopic Study of the RV Tauri Stars TT Oph... Guillermo Hernandez , Donald K. Walter , Jennifer Cash
... RV Tauri stars are a small class of pulsating, luminous, yellow supergiants whose light curves are characterized by alternating deep and shallow minima. The time from one deep minima to the next deep minima is known as the formal period, while the time from one deep minima to the next shallow minima ...

... The brightness of the main-sequence stars is also related to their mass. The hottest blue stars are about 50 times more massive than the sun, while the coolest red stars are only 1/10 as massive. Therefore, on the H-R diagram, the main-sequence stars appear in decreasing order, from hotter, more mas ...

Ursa Minor
Ursa Minor (Latin: ""Smaller She-Bear"", contrasting with Ursa Major), also known as the Little Bear, is a constellation in the northern sky. Like the Great Bear, the tail of the Little Bear may also be seen as the handle of a ladle, hence the name Little Dipper. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Ursa Minor has traditionally been important for navigation, particularly by mariners, due to Polaris being the North Star.Polaris, the brightest star in the constellation, is a yellow-white supergiant and the brightest Cepheid variable star in the night sky, ranging from apparent magnitude 1.97 to 2.00. Beta Ursae Minoris, also known as Kochab, is an aging star that has swollen and cooled to become an orange giant with an apparent magnitude of 2.08, only slightly fainter than Polaris. Kochab and magnitude 3 Gamma Ursae Minoris have been called the ""guardians of the pole star"". Planets have been detected orbiting four of the stars, including Kochab. The constellation also contains an isolated neutron star—Calvera—and H1504+65, the hottest white dwarf yet discovered with a surface temperature of 200,000 K.
