The Hertzsprung - Russell Diagram Spectral Types and Surface Temperatures. Spectral types are a measure of the surface temperatures of stars and are letter designations: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. Type O stars have the highest surface temperatures and can be as hot as 30,000 Kelvins. On the other extreme, type M stars have the lowest surface temperatures and can be as cool as 3,000 K. Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram The most significant feature of the HR Diagram is that the stars are not distributed in it at random (showing any combinations of absolute magnitudes and spectral types), but rather group themselves only into certain parts or regions of the diagram thus forming several groups.

Star The star with the lowest iron content ever measured is the dwarf HE1327-2326, with only 1/200,000th the iron content of the Sun. By contrast, the super-metal-rich star μ Leonis has nearly double the abundance of iron as the Sun, while the planet-bearing star 14 Herculis has nearly triple the iron.

- The temperature of a white star or a white dwarf is about 45,000 degrees Fahrenheit because all stars color is determined by their Fahrenheit.

- General Astronomy/Temperature. The temperature of a star refers to its surface and that is what determines its color. The lowest temperature stars are red while the hottest stars are blue. Astronomers are able to measure the temperatures of the surfaces of stars by comparing their spectra to the spectrum of a black body.

- As we said last time, the spectral sequence O, B, A, F, G, K, M is a temperature sequence, with the hottest stars being of type O (surface temperatures 30,000-40,000 K), and the coolest stars being of type M (surface temperatures around 3,000 K).

- At one Kelvin the Boomerang nebula is even colder than the coldest known places in our solar system: the permanently-shadowed craters at the moon's south pole that never receive sunlight. Even those pockets of darkness are a balmy 33 Kelvin.

Which planet experiences the smallest daily temperature range? Venus has the smallest temperature range of any planet, from high noon at the equator to deep winter at the pole. Mercury has the smallest daily temperature range. Mercury's daytime temperature is between 100-700 K and 452 K.

Mira In Mira, the highest luminosity occurs close to the time when the star is hottest and smallest. The visual magnitude is determined both by the luminosity and by the proportion of the radiation that occurs at visual wavelengths.

- The shape of a star s spectrum reveals its temperature. Spectra that peak near the blue end of the scale indicate young stars that burn hot. Spectra that peak closer to the red end of the scale indicate stars with cooler temperatures.

Stellar nucleosynthesis As the star ages and the core temperature increases, the region occupied by the convection zone slowly shrinks from 20% of the mass down to the inner 8% of the mass. The type of hydrogen burning process that dominates inside a star is determined by the temperature dependency differences between the two reactions. The pp-chain reaction starts at temperatures around 7006400000000000000♠4×106 K, making it the dominant mechanism in smaller stars.

Red Supergiant Stars are On the Way Out Red supergiants are red because of their low surface temperature, usually only about 3,500 - 4,500 kelvin. While their cores are extremely hot, the energy spreads out over the interior and surface of the star.

Sun Knowing those two, we can calculate its absolute magnitude, which is how bright the star would be if it were 10 parsecs away from us, and its luminosity relative to the Sun. A star's temperature is the temperature of the gas on the surface of the star.or example, the Sun's surface temperature is approximately 6,000 K, but the temperature at the center of the Sun is 15,000,000 K! That is why nuclear reactions only happen in the interiors of stars. A star's radius is simply half the star's diameter.

Venus This makes the Venusian surface hotter than Mercury 's, which has a minimum surface temperature of 55 K (−220 °C) and maximum surface temperature of 695 K (420 °C), even though Venus is nearly twice Mercury's distance from the Sun and thus receives only 25% of Mercury's solar irradiance.enus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has no natural satellite. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows.

Effective temperature The effective temperature of a star is the temperature of a black body with the same luminosity per surface area () as the star and is defined according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law.

Luminosity and brightness (a) the size of the star. (b) the temperature of the star. (a) for a star with a certain surface temperature the bigger the star the more energy it gives out. A star with double the radius of another one will have an area four times as great and so have a luminosity four times greater than the first star. star with a temperature twice that of our Sun would have an energy output sixteen (2 4) times as great. Consider a star like Rigel in Orion (on the right in the photo). The surface temperature of Rigel is 11600 K (1.9 times that of the Sun) and its radius is seventy times that of the Sun.

Rosetta Spacecraft Takes Temperature of Comet 67P The comet itself has been compared to a rubber ducky due to its shape. Temperatures of the comet taken in mid-July by the Rosetta's visible, infrared and thermal imaging spectrometer — nicknamed VIRTIS for short — show that the average surface temperature is minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 70 degrees Celsius).[ Photos: Europe's Rosetta Comet Mission in Pictures ].y Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor | August 14, 2014 05:30pm ET. The first temperature measurements of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko were made between July 21 and 31, 2014, when Rosetta closed in from 14,000 kilometers to the comet to just over 5,000 kilometers.

Alpha Centauri For comparison, the hottest planet in the solar system, Venus, has a surface temperature of only 735 K (462°C). Alpha Centauri Bb orbits the star with a period of 3.2357 days at a distance of 6 million kilometres, which is only about 4 percent of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Stars The smallest stars, known as red dwarfs, may contain as little as 10% the mass of the Sun and emit only 0.01% as much energy, glowing feebly at temperatures between 3000-4000K. Despite their diminutive nature, red dwarfs are by far the most numerous stars in the Universe and have lifespans of tens of billions of years.

- Stars have a range of colors which represent their surface temperatures due to Wien's law (which states that the peak emission of light from an object goes as the inverse of temperature). The color of a star is determined by that part of the visible spectrum where the peak amount of radiation is emitted.Blue stars are extremely hot, red stars are relatively cool. Temperature here is a relative thing; cool means temperatures near 2,000 to 3,000K, about 15 times hotter than your oven.lue stars have temperatures near 20,000K. The Sun is an intermediate yellow star with a surface temperature of 6,000K. The color of a star is determined by measuring its color index.

Star Colors and Temperatures Rigel is a blue-white star and, we know from experiments done in the lab, that its surface gases must be over 12,000 o C to give it that (peak) color. At the other extreme is Betelgeuse. Its deep red color shows it has a surface temperature of only 3400 o C. Aldebaran is slightly warmer than Betelgeuse, around 4000 o C, so it is more orange than red. We can use this nice color scheme to estimate the surface temperature of stars.

What is the Hottest Star? The color of a star is a function of its temperature. If a star looks red, that means its surface temperature is approximately 2,500 Kelvin. Just for comparison, our Sun, which actually looks white from space, measures about 6,000 Kelvin.

- The temperature of an object determines the type of radiation it emits. Hence, every star radiates energy with wavelengths corresponding to its surface temperature: a cooler star would radiate a more reddish light, a hotter one a more bluish one.

The Life of a Star The colour of a star is determined by its temperature, the hottest stars are blue and the coolest stars are red. The Sun has a surface temperature of 5,500 degrees Celcius, its colour appears yellow. The energy produced by the star is by nuclear fusion in the stars core.
