  2. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    The spectral classes O through M, as well as other more specialized classes discussed later, are subdivided by Arabic numerals (0–9), where 0 denotes the hottest stars of a given class. For example, A0 denotes the hottest stars in class A and A9 denotes the coolest ones.

  3. Spectral energy distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_Energy_Distribution

    The SED of M51 (upper right) obtained by combining data at many different wavelengths, e.g. UV, visible, and infrared (left). A spectral energy distribution (SED) is a plot of energy versus frequency or wavelength of light (not to be confused with a 'spectrum' of flux density vs frequency or wavelength). [1]

  4. Astronomical spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_spectroscopy

    The Star-Spectroscope of the Lick Observatory in 1898. Designed by James Keeler and constructed by John Brashear.. Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, infrared and radio waves that radiate from stars and other celestial objects.

  5. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

    Spectroscopy is a branch of science concerned with the spectra of electromagnetic radiation as a function of its wavelength or frequency measured by spectrographic equipment, and other techniques, in order to obtain information concerning the structure and properties of matter. [4]

  6. Main sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_sequence

    The MK classification assigned each star a spectral type—based on the Harvard classification—and a luminosity class. The Harvard classification had been developed by assigning a different letter to each star based on the strength of the hydrogen spectral line before the relationship between spectra and temperature was known.

  7. Spectrum (physical sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(physical_sciences)

    In the physical sciences, the spectrum of a physical quantity (such as energy) may be called continuous if it is non-zero over the whole spectrum domain (such as frequency or wavelength) or discrete if it attains non-zero values only in a discrete set over the independent variable, with band gaps between pairs of spectral bands or spectral ...

  8. S-type star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-type_star

    The original definition of an S star was that the ZrO bands should be easily detectable on low dispersion photographic spectral plates, but more modern spectra allow identification of many stars with much weaker ZrO. MS stars, intermediate with normal class M stars, have barely detectable ZrO but otherwise normal class M spectra.

  9. Asteroid spectral types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_spectral_types

    The Ld-type is a new class and has more extreme spectral features than the L-type asteroid. The new class of O-type asteroids has since only been assigned to the asteroid 3628 Božněmcová . A significant number of small asteroids were found to fall in the Q , R , and V types, which were represented by only a single body in the Tholen scheme.
