Impersonal parameters from Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2003
An objective process for estimation of star cluster parameters from Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagrams is introduced, with direct inclusion of multiple stars, a least-squares fitting criterion, and standard error estimates. No role is played by conventional isochrones. Instead the quantity compared between observation and theory is the density of points

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1961
The theory of stellar evolution aims at predicting the luminosity L and radius R of a star as a function of its mass M , its initial composition, and its age. As the time scales are so long, comparison with observation must necessarily be indirect.

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram

2014
We have already covered many topics in our description of a star’s basic characteristics, such as its mass, radius, spectral type and temperature. We can now put all of these parameters together to form a picture of how a star evolves. This is often quite useful in many sciences to represent the characteristics, or data, about a group of objects in the

The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram

1958
Two of the fundamental quantities which describe a star are luminosity and temperature. A Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram) is a graphical representation of a group of stars which uses as coordinates their absolute magnitudes and spectral types. Spectral type is principally a temperature classification.

Steps toward the Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram

Physics Today, 1978
In the late nineteenth century, astronomers seeking to classify stars by their spectra using then-current concepts of stellar evolution found a temperature–luminosity plot that revolutionized the subject.

Magnetic Activity Across the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram

1991
Emissions from the outer atmospheres of cool stars are discussed using flux-color, flux-flux, and flux-rotation diagrams. Two distinct components have been identified: a basal emission and a magnetically controlled emission (“magnetic activity”). The tight power-law relations between the flux densities point to one single activity parameter determining

The Upper Boundaries of the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram

1980
Why is it that there are no stars brighter than (roughly) a few million times the Sun, hotter than approximately a hundred-thousand degrees, or cooler than a few thousand degrees?
