The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA).ecognizing the value and need for consistent learning goals across states, in 2009 the state school chiefs and governors that comprise CCSSO and the NGA Center coordinated a state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards.
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.
The Russell-Vogt Theorem states that all the parameters of a star (its spectral type, luminosity, size, radius and temperature) are determined primarily by its mass. The emphasis on `primarily' is important since we will soon see that this only applies during the `normal' or hydrogen burning phase of a star's life.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.
