Angular diameter

The angular diameter, angular size, apparent diameter, or apparent size is an angular distance describing how large a sphere or circle appears from a given point of view.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Angular diameter

Apparent magnitude

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

See 6 Canis Minoris and Apparent magnitude

Barium star

Barium stars are spectral class G to K stars whose spectra indicate an overabundance of s-process elements by the presence of singly ionized barium, Ba II, at λ 455.4 nm. 6 Canis Minoris and barium star are barium stars.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Barium star

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 6 Canis Minoris and Binary star

Birkhäuser

Birkhäuser was a Swiss publisher founded in 1879 by Emil Birkhäuser.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Birkhäuser

Canis Minor

Canis Minor is a small constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Canis Minor

Celestial equator

The celestial equator is the great circle of the imaginary celestial sphere on the same plane as the equator of Earth.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Celestial equator

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 6 Canis Minoris and Constellation

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 6 Canis Minoris and Effective temperature

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Epoch (astronomy)

Giant star

A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Giant star

Interferometry

Interferometry is a technique which uses the interference of superimposed waves to extract information.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Interferometry

International Celestial Reference System and its realizations

The International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) is the current standard celestial reference system adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

Light-year

A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Light-year

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 6 Canis Minoris and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Photosphere

The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Photosphere

Radial velocity

The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Radial velocity

Sirius

Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. 6 Canis Minoris and Sirius are bright Star Catalogue objects, Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Sirius

Solar luminosity

The solar luminosity is a unit of radiant flux (power emitted in the form of photons) conventionally used by astronomers to measure the luminosity of stars, galaxies and other celestial objects in terms of the output of the Sun.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Solar luminosity

Solar mass

The solar mass is a standard unit of mass in astronomy, equal to approximately.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Solar mass

Solar radius

Solar radius is a unit of distance used to express the size of stars in astronomy relative to the Sun.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Solar radius

Star

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

See 6 Canis Minoris and Star

Stellar classification

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

See 6 Canis Minoris and Stellar classification

Stellar evolution

Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of its lifetime and how it can lead to the creation of a new star.

See 6 Canis Minoris and Stellar evolution

White dwarf

A white dwarf is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.

See 6 Canis Minoris and White dwarf
