Costard upper-class. While mocking a pedantic schoolmaster, Costard uses the word "honorificabilitudinitatibus", the longest word by far from any of Shakespeare's works. Costard makes many clever puns, and is used as a tool by Shakespeare to explain new words such as "remuneration". He is sometimes considered one of the smartest characters in the play due to his wit and wordplay. Costard's name is an archaic term for apple, or metaphorically a man's head. Shakespeare uses the word in this sense in "Richard III". Costard Costard is a comic figure in the play "Love's Labour's Lost" by William Shakespeare. A country bumpkin,
A-type main-sequence star also occasionally sees Delta Leonis (A4 V) listed as a standard. There are no published A6 V and A8 V standard stars. A-type stars are young (typically few hundred million years old) and many emit infrared (IR) radiation beyond what would be expected from the star alone. This IR excess is attributable to dust emission from a debris disk where planets form. Surveys indicate massive planets commonly form around A-type stars although these planets are difficult to detect using the Doppler spectroscopy method. This is because A-type stars typically rotate very quickly, which makes it difficult to measure the small
