UY Scuti was analyzed to be the largest and the most luminous of the three stars measured, at 1,708 ± 192 R ☉ (1.188 × 10 9 ± 134,000,000 km; 7.94 ± 0.89 AU) based on an angular diameter of 5.48 ± 0.10 mas and an assumed distance of 2.9 ± 0.317 kiloparsecs (kpc) (about 9,500 ± 1,030 light-years) which was originally derived in 1970 ...
Theoretical limit of star size (M31) ≳1,750 [9] L/T eff: Estimated by measuring the fraction of red supergiants at higher luminosities in a large sample of stars. Assumes an effective temperature of 3625 K. Reported for reference: LGGS J013339.28+303118.8 1,566 [129] Triangulum Galaxy: L/T eff: Theoretical limit of star size (M33) ≳1,500 [9 ...
English: Size comparison of evolved red supergiant star Stephenson 2-18, extreme red hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris and luminous red supergiant star UY Scuti. Bahasa Indonesia: Perbandingan ukuran bintang super raksasa merah berevolusi Stephenson 2-18, bintang hypergiant merah ekstrim VY Canis Majoris dan bintang super raksasa merah bercahaya ...
In the case of a planet or asteroid, the absolute magnitude H rather means the apparent magnitude it would have if it were 1 astronomical unit (150,000,000 km) from both the observer and the Sun, and fully illuminated at maximum opposition (a configuration that is only theoretically achievable, with the observer situated on the surface of the Sun).
Solar radius is a unit of distance used to express the size of stars in astronomy ... only known to about an accuracy of ± 100–200 km). ... UY Scuti: 909 [9 ...
Scutum is not a bright constellation, with the brightest star, Alpha Scuti, being a K-type giant star [6] at magnitude 3.85. However, some stars are notable in the constellation. Beta Scuti is the second brightest at magnitude 4.22, followed by Delta Scuti at magnitude 4.72. It is also known as 6 Aquilae. [7]
VV Cephei A was higher than VY CMa because 1050-1900 is 1475 so NML Cygni would be larger than UY Scuti because 1642-2775 is 2208.5 (3,075,742,614 Km) and UY Scuti is 1708 (2,378,704,272 Km). (posted by V255 Canis Majoris) 1050 - 1900 is not 1475. These are independent calculations by different authors.
A hypergiant (luminosity class 0 or Ia +) is a very rare type of star that has an extremely high luminosity, mass, size and mass loss because of its extreme stellar winds.The term hypergiant is defined as luminosity class 0 (zero) in the MKK system.
