This type of diagram could be called temperature-luminosity diagram, but this term is hardly ever used; when the distinction is made, this form is called the theoretical Hertzsprung–Russell diagram instead. A peculiar characteristic of this form of the H–R diagram is that the temperatures are plotted from high temperature to low temperature ...
HR diagrams for two open clusters, M67 and NGC 188, showing the main sequence turn-off at different ages.. The turnoff point for a star refers to the point on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram where it leaves the main sequence after its main fuel is exhausted – the main sequence turnoff.
The unqualified term instability strip usually refers to a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram largely occupied by several related classes of pulsating variable stars: [1] Delta Scuti variables, SX Phoenicis variables, and rapidly oscillating Ap stars (roAps) near the main sequence; RR Lyrae variables where it intersects the horizontal branch; and the Cepheid variables where it crosses ...
English: A Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, showing the luminosities and surface temperatures at which many classes of pulsating stars are found. Additional lines indicate where stars are found when they first fuse hydrogen into helium (zero-age main sequence, ZAMS), evolutionary tracks for stars of masses between 1 and 10 times that of the Sun, and the track along which a typical white dwarf of ...

English: Schematic diagram of two pathways of homologous recombination: the double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathway and synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) pathway. Figure 2 from Sung P, Klein H (2006). "Mechanism of homologous recombination: mediators and helicases take on regulatory functions".
These diagrams are used to represent which types of phase changes will occur in a material as it is cooled at different rates. These diagrams are often more useful than time-temperature-transformation diagrams because it is more convenient to cool materials at a certain rate (temperature-variable cooling), than to cool quickly and hold at a ...
