Amplitude
The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period (such as time or spatial period).

Cancer (constellation)
Cancer is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac.
New!!: 28 Cancri and Cancer (constellation) · See more »
Constellation
A constellation is a group of stars that are considered to form imaginary outlines or meaningful patterns on the celestial sphere, typically representing animals, mythological people or gods, mythological creatures, or manufactured devices.

Delta Scuti variable
A Delta Scuti variable (sometimes termed dwarf cepheid) is a variable star which exhibits variations in its luminosity due to both radial and non-radial pulsations of the star's surface.

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.

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.Tables VII and VIII.

Minute and second of arc
A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc is a unit of angular measurement equal to of one degree.

Photosphere
The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.
New!!: 28 Cancri and Photosphere · See more »
Proper motion
Proper motion is the astronomical measure of the observed changes in the apparent places of stars or other celestial objects in the sky, as seen from the center of mass of the Solar System, compared to the abstract background of the more distant stars.

Radial velocity
The radial velocity of an object with respect to a given point is the rate of change of the distance between the object and the point.
New!!: 28 Cancri and Radial velocity · See more »
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.

Solar mass
The solar mass is a standard unit of mass in astronomy, equal to approximately.
New!!: 28 Cancri and Solar mass · See more »
Spectral line
A spectral line is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies.
New!!: 28 Cancri and Spectral line · See more »
Star
A star is type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity.

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

Variable star designation
Variable stars are designated using a variation on the Bayer designation format of an identifying label (as described below) combined with the Latin genitive of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.

Zodiac
The zodiac is an area of the sky that extends approximately 8° north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year.
