Star
... • When a star explosively brightens, it is called a nova (new star). Excessively large explosions are called supernovas. • During the outburst, the outer layer of the star is ejected at high speed. • After reaching maximum brightness in a few days, the nova slowly returns in a year or so to its orig ...

Pulsating variable stars and the Hertzsprung
... Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828) reported dark gaps between colors in the continuous spectrum. Later, Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) observed the Solar spectra more detailed and found that the dark gaps are different in strength. German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff (1824-1887) published his fundamental w ...

... Red dwarfs are main-sequence stars with the mass range from 0.08Mo . to 0.5 Mo .. The lower mass limit is the critical mass for hydrogen burning in the central cores of stars with solar abundances, while the upper limit corresponds to the spectral class M0. The radii of the red dwarfs span from 0.2R ...
