Dark Energy: how the paradigm shifted

Empirical properties of Very Massive Stars

On the good side, distance is rather well constrained, so that luminosity estimates are usually more robust than in the Galaxy. On the other hand, the Magellanic C ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
