Apparent magnitude

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

See V Cephei and Apparent magnitude

Cepheus (constellation)

Cepheus is a constellation in the deep northern sky, named after Cepheus, a king of Aethiopia in Greek mythology.

See V Cephei and Cepheus (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 V Cephei and Effective temperature

Main sequence

In astronomy, the main sequence is a classification of stars which appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness as a continuous and distinctive band.
