Subject has right ascension has declination has spectral type is part of has surface temperature is an instance of has V magnitude has color has been observ has B-V magnitude has absorption line is usually part of is a kind of has apparent magnitude has synonym has definition has luminosity class

A star O, B, A, and early F 10000 K white H I early star Star with spectral type A in which the spectrum of the Balmer lines of hydrogen attain their greatest strength. Helium lines can no longer be seen. Some metallic lines are present; in late A stars the H and K lines of ionized calcium appear. A0 stars have a color index of zero.

naked eye star Milky Way greater than 1000 Kelvin for many centuries asterism naked eye object brighter than 5 A star visible without visual aids

subgiant greater than 1000 Kelvin star A star whose position on the H-R diagram is intermediate between that of main-sequence stars and normal giants of the same spectral type. IV
