Spectral Classification and the HR Diagram
... Norris Russell discovered that when they compared the luminosity with the type of light that was observed from stars, there were many patterns that emerged. In 1905, Hertzsprung presented tables of luminosities and star colors, noting many correlations and trends. In 1913, Russell published similar ...

Stars - Robert M. Hazen
... Stars have a history – a beginning and an end 1. Stars (and planets) begin as clouds of dust and gas, called nebulae. 2. Stars radiate heat and light, which come from the energy of nuclear fusion reactions. 3. Planets form like stars, but they are too small to begin nuclear fusion reactions. ...

... If the orbit is inclined, we will only see a fraction of the true orbital velocity. The fraction will in fact be cos(45o) = 0.7071. Thus vobserved = vtrue cos(45o), so vtrue = (1/ cos(45o))vobserved = 1.414 ∗ vobserved. Since vobserved = 270 km/s, vtrue = 1.414 ∗ 270 = 381.8 km/s. We then see that t ...
