Apparent magnitude

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, ua, or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Binary star

A binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common barycenter.

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.

Hipparcos

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

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.

Slow irregular variable

A slow irregular variable (ascribed the GCVS types L, LB and LC) is a variable star that exhibit no or very poorly defined periodicity in their slowly changing light emissions.

New!!: 5 Lacertae and Slow irregular variable · 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!!: 5 Lacertae and Spectral line · See more »

Stellar classification

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

New!!: 5 Lacertae and Stellar classification · See more »

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.
