Apparent magnitude

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.

See Lambda Arae and Apparent magnitude

Ara (constellation)

Ara (Latin for "the Altar") is a southern constellation between Scorpius, Telescopium, Triangulum Australe, and Norma.

See Lambda Arae and Ara (constellation)

Astronomical spectroscopy

Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, infrared and radio waves that radiate from stars and other celestial objects.

See Lambda Arae and Astronomical spectroscopy

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

See Lambda Arae and Astronomical unit

Bayer designation

A Bayer designation is a stellar designation in which a specific star is identified by a Greek or Latin letter followed by the genitive form of its parent constellation's Latin name.

See Lambda Arae and Bayer designation

Binary star

A binary star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other.

See Lambda Arae and Binary star

Bright Star Catalogue

The Bright Star Catalogue, also known as the Yale Catalogue of Bright Stars, Yale Bright Star Catalogue, or just YBS, is a star catalogue that lists all stars of stellar magnitude 6.5 or brighter, which is roughly every star visible to the naked eye from Earth. Lambda Arae and bright Star Catalogue are bright Star Catalogue objects.

See Lambda Arae and Bright Star Catalogue

Constellation

A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.

See Lambda Arae and Constellation

Debris disk

A debris disk (American English), or debris disc (Commonwealth English), is a circumstellar disk of dust and debris in orbit around a star.

See Lambda Arae and Debris disk

Durchmusterung

In astronomy, Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) is an astrometric star catalogue of the whole sky, published by the Bonn Observatory in Germany from 1859 to 1863, with an extension published in Bonn in 1886.

See Lambda Arae and Durchmusterung

Effective temperature

The effective temperature of a body such as a star or planet is the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total amount of electromagnetic radiation.

See Lambda Arae and Effective temperature

F-type main-sequence star

An F-type main-sequence star (F V) is a main-sequence, hydrogen-fusing star of spectral type F and luminosity class V. These stars have from 1.0 to 1.4 times the mass of the Sun and surface temperatures between 6,000 and 7,600 K.

See Lambda Arae and F-type main-sequence star

Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars

The Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars (English) is a star catalogue listing stars located within 25 parsecs (82 ly) of the Sun.

See Lambda Arae and Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars

Henry Draper Catalogue

The Henry Draper Catalogue (HD) is an astronomical star catalogue published between 1918 and 1924, giving spectroscopic classifications for 225,300 stars; it was later expanded by the Henry Draper Extension (HDE), published between 1925 and 1936, which gave classifications for 46,850 more stars, and by the Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published from 1937 to 1949 in the form of charts, which gave classifications for 86,933 more stars. Lambda Arae and Henry Draper Catalogue are Henry Draper Catalogue objects.

Hipparcos

Hipparcos was a scientific satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 1989 and operated until 1993.

See Lambda Arae and Hipparcos

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in astronomy, astrophysics and related fields.

See Lambda Arae and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars

The New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars (NSV) is a star catalogue containing 14,811 stars which, although suspected to be variable, were not given variable star designations prior to 1980.

See Lambda Arae and New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars

Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog is an astrometric star catalogue, created by Smithsonian Institution, a research institute.

Spitzer Space Telescope

The Spitzer Space Telescope, formerly the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), is an infrared space telescope launched in 2003, that was deactivated when operations ended on 30 January 2020.

Star

A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.

See Lambda Arae and Star

Star catalogue

A star catalogue is an astronomical catalogue that lists stars.

See Lambda Arae and Star catalogue

Stellar atmosphere

The stellar atmosphere is the outer region of the volume of a star, lying above the stellar core, radiation zone and convection zone.

See Lambda Arae and Stellar atmosphere

Stellar classification

In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics.

See Lambda Arae and Stellar classification

The Astronomical Journal

The Astronomical Journal (often abbreviated AJ in scientific papers and references) is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal owned by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) and currently published by IOP Publishing.
