A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. [1] They lie above the main sequence (luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification) on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II and III. [2]
Widely recognised as being among the largest known stars, [21] radius decreased to ~500 R ☉ during the 2020 great dimming event. [75] R Horologii: 630 [60] L/T eff: A red giant star with one of the largest ranges in brightness known of stars in the night sky visible to the unaided eye. Despite its large radius, it is less massive than the Sun.

The phase where these stars have both hydrogen and helium burning shells is referred to as the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), as stars gradually become more and more luminous class M stars. Stars of 8-10 M ☉ may fuse sufficient carbon on the AGB to produce an oxygen-neon core and an electron-capture supernova , but astrophysicists categorise ...

Rho Cassiopeiae (/ ˌ r oʊ k æ s i ə ˈ p iː aɪ,-s i oʊ-,-iː /; ρ Cas, ρ Cassiopeiae) is a yellow hypergiant star in the constellation Cassiopeia.It is about 8,150 light-years (2,500 pc) from Earth, yet can still be seen by the naked eye as it is over 300,000 times brighter than the Sun.
The primary has a spectral type of K1III, [3] with the luminosity class III indicating that it is a giant star that has burned up the hydrogen at its core and has expanded. Nu Octantis A has 1.6 times the mass of the Sun , but has expanded to 5.8 times the radius of the Sun . [ 8 ]
