The Properties of Stars Early in its history, the universe organized

Russell to plot the luminosities of stars on a vertical axis with their surface temperatures on a horizontal axis. In their honor, such plots are now known as Hertzsprung-Rus ...

Note, however, that the radius measured this way is not very accurate, owing to the uncertainty in the distance. • Is ...
