  2. K-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-type_main-sequence_star

    A K-type main-sequence star, also referred to as a K-type dwarf, or orange dwarf, is a main-sequence (hydrogen-burning) star of spectral type K and luminosity class V. These stars are intermediate in size between red M-type main-sequence stars ("red dwarfs") and yellow/white G-type main-sequence stars.

  3. White dwarf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarf

    The most common observable evidence of a remnant planetary system is pollution of the spectrum of a white dwarf with metal absorption lines. 27–50% of white dwarfs show a spectrum polluted with metals, [153] but these heavy elements settle out in the atmosphere of white dwarfs colder than 20 000 K.

  4. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    "Yellow" dwarfs such as the Sun are white, "red" dwarfs are a deep shade of yellow/orange, and "brown" dwarfs do not literally appear brown, but hypothetically would appear dim red or grey/black to a nearby observer.

  5. Main sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_sequence

    Main-sequence stars are called dwarf stars, [19] [20] but this terminology is partly historical and can be somewhat confusing. For the cooler stars, dwarfs such as red dwarfs, orange dwarfs, and yellow dwarfs are indeed much smaller and dimmer than other stars of those colors. However, for hotter blue and white stars, the difference in size and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_star

    The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram showing the location of main sequence dwarf stars and white dwarfs. A dwarf star is a star of relatively small size and low luminosity. Most main sequence stars are dwarf stars. The meaning of the word "dwarf" was later extended to some star-sized objects that are not stars, and compact stellar remnants that ...

  7. Habitability of K-type main-sequence star systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitability_of_K-type...

    K-type main-sequence stars, also known as orange dwarfs, may be candidates for supporting extraterrestrial life.These stars are known as "Goldilocks stars" as they emit enough radiation in the non-UV ray spectrum [1] to provide a temperature that allows liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet; they also remain stable in the main sequence longer than the Sun by burning their hydrogen ...

  8. Variable star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_star

    The white dwarf spin period is significantly shorter than the binary orbital period and can sometimes be detected as a photometric periodicity. An accretion disk usually forms around the white dwarf, but its innermost regions are magnetically truncated by the white dwarf. Once captured by the white dwarf's magnetic field, the material from the ...

  9. DD Microscopii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD_Microscopii

    Both stellar classifications of the primary indicate a red giant, but one has a regular spectrum while the other shows an evolved star with the characteristics of a K5 and M0 giant star plus emission lines in its spectrum. The secondary is a white dwarf in close orbit, ionizing the stellar wind of the larger star.
