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

B star O, B, A, and early F 11000 to 28000 K blue-white He I early star Blue-white star of spectral type B whose spectra are characterized by absorption lines of neutral helium which reach their maximum intensity at B2. The Balmer lines of hydrogen are strong, and lines of singly ionized oxygen and other gases are also present.

giant greater than 1000 Kelvin star High-luminosity star that lies above the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. III

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
