Difference between Red dwarf and Stellar classification

Red dwarf vs. Stellar classification

A red dwarf (or M dwarf) is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence, of M spectral type. In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics.

Similarities between Red dwarf and Stellar classification

Red dwarf and Stellar classification have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Brown dwarf, Effective temperature, Helium, Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, Hydrogen, Jupiter, K-type main-sequence star, Kelvin, Lacaille 8760, Luminosity, Main sequence, Metallicity, Milky Way, Nuclear fusion, Solar mass, Spiral galaxy, Star, Star count, Stellar classification, Stellar evolution, Stellar population, Sun, White dwarf.

Brown dwarf

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that occupy the mass range between the heaviest gas giant planets and the lightest stars, having masses between approximately 13 to 75–80 times that of Jupiter, or approximately to about.

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.

Hertzsprung–Russell diagram

The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, abbreviated H–R diagram, HR diagram or HRD, is a scatter plot of stars showing the relationship between the stars' absolute magnitudes or luminosities versus their stellar classifications or effective temperatures.

K-type main-sequence star

A K-type main-sequence star (K V), also referred to as an orange dwarf or K dwarf, is a main-sequence (hydrogen-burning) star of spectral type K and luminosity class V. These stars are intermediate in size between red M-type main-sequence stars ("red dwarfs") and yellow G-type main-sequence stars.

Kelvin

The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics.

Spiral galaxy

Spiral galaxies form a class of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae(pp. 124–151) and, as such, form part of the Hubble sequence.
