... However, if the star is not massive enough, it will never reach high enough temperatures to fuse carbon: this is true for the Sun. So for low mass stars, this is the end of the line. We will now look at the fate of different mass stars: very low mass (< 0.4 solar masses), medium mass (0.4 – about 6 ...

AAVSO: Mu Cephei, October 2002 Variable Star Of The Month
... Mu Cephei is really big. It is so big that it is one of the largest stars known; estimated to be the third largest star in the sky after its neighbor VV Cephei and the even larger Epsilon Aurigae (both are eclipsing binaries). If you were so inclined, you could fit one billion suns inside mu cephei ...

What units are used in astronomical photometry?
... Distance: Distance is an easy concept to understand: it is just a length in some units such as in feet, km, light years, parsecs etc. It has been excrutiatingly difficult to measure astronomical distances until this century. Unfortunately most stars are so far away that it is impossible to directly ...

Project 4: The HR diagram. Open clusters
... This site has collected almost all the available data on open clusters and you can call up a plot showing the cluster you have measured. You can scale this plot to show the stars you see in your image, and then, by just clicking on a particular star, get its published values of V and (B-V) – provide ...
