  2. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    [c] [11] Some of the most massive stars lie within this spectral class. O-type stars frequently have complicated surroundings that make measurement of their spectra difficult. O-type spectra formerly were defined by the ratio of the strength of the He II λ4541 relative to that of He I λ4471, where λ is the radiation wavelength. Spectral type ...

  3. K2-239 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2-239

    K2-239 (also designated EPIC 248545986) is a small red dwarf star in the constellation Sextans, about 32 parsecs (101 light-years) away from Earth. [1] Observed by the Kepler Space Telescope during Campaign 14 of its K2 "Second Light" mission, it was found to have three hot, likely rocky Earth-sized planets in orbit around it.

  4. Planetary habitability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_habitability

    Any planet in orbit around a red dwarf would have to huddle very close to its parent star to attain Earth-like surface temperatures; from 0.3 AU (just inside the orbit of Mercury) for a star like Lacaille 8760, to as little as 0.032 AU for a star like Proxima Centauri [89] (such a world would have a year lasting just 6.3 days). At those ...

  5. List of nearest stars by spectral type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_by...

    Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type. The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M, K, F, G, A, B and O. It may be later expanded to other types, such as S, D or C. The Alpha Centauri star system is the closest star system to the Sun.

  6. B-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

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

    A B-type main-sequence star (B V) is a main-sequence (hydrogen-burning) star of spectral type B and luminosity class V. These stars have from 2 to 16 times the mass of the Sun and surface temperatures between 10,000 and 30,000 K. [1] B-type stars are extremely luminous and blue.

  7. S-type star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-type_star

    MS stars, intermediate with normal class M stars, have barely detectable ZrO but otherwise normal class M spectra. SC stars, intermediate with carbon stars, have weak or undetectable ZrO, but strong sodium D lines and detectable but weak C 2 bands. [3] S star spectra also show other differences to those of normal M class giants.

    The distance separating the two planets in the sky will be less than the width of a pinky finger held out at arm's length. The planetary convergence is one of the top astronomy events of 2023.

  9. Sextans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextans

    Alpha Sextantis is the brightest star in the constellation and the only star above the fifth magnitude with an apparent magnitude of 4.49. It is an ageing A-type star of spectral class A0 III [7] located 280 ± 20 light-years away [8] from the Solar System. At the age of 385 million years, [9] it is exhausting hydrogen at its core and leaving ...
