    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Sagittarii

    Epsilon Sagittarii (Latinised from ε Sagittarii, abbreviated Epsilon Sgr, ε Sgr), formally named Kaus Australis / ˈ k ɔː s ɔː ˈ s t r eɪ l ɪ s /, [8] [9] is a binary star system in the southern zodiac constellation of Sagittarius.

  3. Hertzsprung–Russell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung–Russell_diagram

    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 ...

  4. Hertzsprung gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung_gap

    Hertzsprung–Russell diagram with the Hertzsprung Gap visible as an area containing few stars between the main sequence and red-giant branch. The Hertzsprung gap is a feature of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram for a star cluster. This diagram is a plot of effective temperature versus luminosity for a

  6. Instability strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instability_strip

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_(constellation)

    Kaus Media bisects Lambda Sagittarii (λ Sgr) and Epsilon Sagittarii (ε Sgr), whose names Kaus Borealis and Kaus Australis refer to the northern and southern portions of the bow, respectively. [ 5 ] Due to its astronomical interest and its status as a Zodiac constellation, Sagittarius is one of the best-known constellations and is considered a ...

  8. Epsilon Sagittae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Sagittae

    Epsilon Sagittae is an optical binary, with a companion of magnitude 8.35 at an angular separation of 87.3 arc seconds along a position angle of 82°, as of 2013. [9] The companion is actually a more distant giant star approximately 7,000 light-years from Earth, with a luminosity 1,800 times that of the Sun and also designated HD 232029. [10]

    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 ...
