Yellow supergiants generally have spectral types of F and G, although sometimes late A or early K stars are included. [1] [2] [3] These spectral types are characterised by hydrogen lines that are very strong in class A, weakening through F and G until they are very weak or absent in class K. Calcium H and K lines are present in late A spectra, but stronger in class F, and strongest in class G ...
In 1983, Olin J. Eggen reported that HD 271182 was a pseudo-Cepheid variable, [17] a supergiant in the Hertzsprung gap with less periodic light variations than true Cepheids. [18] This star in particular showed an amplitude of 0.25 mag in the V band. Similarities were noted between it and two other pseudo-Cepheids, namely R Puppis and HD 269879 ...
V1027 Cygni is a luminous yellow supergiant star located in the constellation of Cygnus, about 14,000 light years away. For a time, it was thought that it could be a low-mass post-AGB star, however recent parallax measurements published in Gaia DR3 have shown this to likely not be the case, and instead it is likely a massive yellow supergiant star.
This is a list of the nearest supergiant stars to Earth, located at a distance of up to 1,100 light-years (340 parsecs) from Earth. Some of the brightest stars in the night sky, such as Rigel and Antares, are in the list.
V810 Centauri is a double star consisting of a yellow hypergiant [3] primary (V810 Cen A) and blue giant secondary (V810 Cen B). It is a small amplitude variable star , entirely due to the supergiant primary which is visually over three magnitudes (about 12x) brighter than the secondary. [ 6 ]
35 Cygni is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Cygnus.Its apparent magnitude is 5.18. Located around 1,000 parsecs (3,300 ly) distant, its primary is a yellow supergiant of spectral type F6Ib, a massive star that has used up its core hydrogen and is now fusing heavier elements.
Doritos are a revered snack for many. Now, scientists have found one of the ingredients in the triangle-shaped tasty tortilla chips has a superpower – it can make the skin of mice transparent.
The most luminous member is the ~2nd magnitude yellow supergiant Mirfak, also known as Alpha Persei. Bright members also include Delta, Sigma, Psi, 29, 30, 34, and 48 Persei. The Hipparcos satellite and infrared color-magnitude diagram fitting have been used to establish a distance to the cluster of ~560 light-years (172 pc).
