Oef comparison table

Subject has surface temperature has rotation velocity is a kind of has absorption line has definition has spectral type has lifetime has color has relative abundance

emission line star greater than 1000 Kelvin star

O star 35000 K very high early star He II Very hot blue star, whose spectra is dominated by the lines of singly ionized helium (see Pickering series). (Most other lines are from at least doubly ionized elements, though H and He I lines are also present.) O stars are useful because they are found in dust clouds and virtually define the spiral arms. O, B, A, and early F 3 to 6 million years blue-white rare

Oef 35000 K very high O star He II Early O stars that show double emission lines in He II λ4686. 3 to 6 million years blue-white rare
