  2. Supergiant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergiant

    There are several categories of evolved stars that are not supergiants in evolutionary terms but may show supergiant spectral features or have luminosities comparable to supergiants. Asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) and post-AGB stars are highly evolved lower-mass red giants with luminosities that can be comparable to more massive red supergiants ...

  3. List of nearest supergiants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_supergiants

    This is a list of the nearest supergiant stars to Earth, located at a distance of up to 1,100 light-years (340 parsecs) from Earth. Some of the brightest stars in the night sky, such as Rigel and Antares, are in the list.

  5. Red supergiant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_supergiant

    For example, Alpha Herculis is classified as a giant star with a radius of between 264 to 303 R ☉ while Epsilon Pegasi is a K2 supergiant of only 185 R ☉. Although red supergiants are much cooler than the Sun, they are so much larger that they are highly luminous, typically tens or hundreds of thousands L ☉ . [ 9 ]

  6. List of largest stars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_stars

    This is the nearest red giant to the Earth, and the fourth brightest star in the night sky. Pollux (β Geminorum) 9.06 ± 0.03 [91] AD The nearest giant star to the Earth. Spica (α Virginis A) 7.47 ± 0.54 [97] One of the nearest supernova candidates and the sixteenth-brightest star in the night sky. Regulus (α Leonis A) 4.16 × 3.14 [98]

  7. Blue supergiant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_supergiant

    A blue supergiant (BSG) is a hot, luminous star, often referred to as an OB supergiant. They are usually considered to be those with luminosity class I and spectral class B9 or earlier, [ 1 ] although sometimes A-class supergiants are also deemed blue supergiants.

  8. Giant star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_star

    The giant phase for such stars is a brief phase of slightly increased size and luminosity before developing a supergiant spectral luminosity class. Type O giants may be more than a hundred thousand times as luminous as the sun, brighter than many supergiants.
