Difference between Light curve and Stellar pulsation

Light curve vs. Stellar pulsation

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of light intensity of a celestial object or region, as a function of time. Stellar pulsations are caused by expansions and contractions in the outer layers as a star seeks to maintain equilibrium.

Similarities between Light curve and Stellar pulsation

Light curve and Stellar pulsation have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amplitude, Cepheid variable, Periodic function, Semiregular variable star.

Amplitude

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

Cepheid variable

A Cepheid variable is a type of star that pulsates radially, varying in both diameter and temperature and producing changes in brightness with a well-defined stable period and amplitude.

Periodic function

In mathematics, a periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods.

Semiregular variable star

Semiregular variable stars are giants or supergiants of intermediate and late spectral type showing considerable periodicity in their light changes, accompanied or sometimes interrupted by various irregularities.

Light curve and Stellar pulsation Comparison

Light curve has 41 relations, while Stellar pulsation has 30. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 5.63% = 4 / (41 + 30).
