Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type. The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M , K , F , G , A , B and O . It may be later expanded to other types, such as S , D or C .
Monoptilon bellioides is a short annual plant; in seasons with very little rainfall, the plant may only grow to 1–2 centimetres (1 ⁄ 2 – 3 ⁄ 4 in), if it ...
Astrophytum is a genus of six species of cacti, native to North America. [2]These species are sometimes referred to as living rocks, though the term is also used for other genera, particularly Lithops ().
K-type main-sequence stars are about three to four times as abundant as G-type main-sequence stars, making planet searches easier. [17] K-type stars emit less total ultraviolet and other ionizing radiation than G-type stars like the Sun (which can damage DNA and thus hamper the emergence of nucleic acid based life). In fact, many peak in the red.
This list of native plants is organized by elevational distribution ranges and their plant communities. Some plants with a broader altitudinal range are found listed in their predominant habitat elevation. All the plant species listed are native to the Sierra's foothills, valleys, and mountains.
For example, the leaves of ferns and umbellifers (Apiaceae) are only self-similar (pinnate) to 2, 3 or 4 levels. Fern-like growth patterns occur in plants and in animals including bryozoa, corals, hydrozoa like the air fern, Sertularia argentea, and in non-living things, notably electrical discharges.
Indeed, F0 stars (7,400 K, 1.6 M ☉︎, 1.7 R ☉︎, ~7 L ☉︎) are considered by many scientists as the hottest and most massive stars capable of supporting habitable planets. A planet orbiting an F-type star at the Earth boundary within the HZ would receive 2.5 (F9 star) to 7.1 (F0 star) times the UV that Earth gets from the sun. [1]
Marginal cases are allowed; for example, a star may be either a supergiant or a bright giant, or may be in between the subgiant and main-sequence classifications. In these cases, two special symbols are used: A slash (/) means that a star is either one class or the other. A dash (-) means that the star is in between the two classes.
