1
wavelength flux Spectral energy distributions of bright stars can be used to derive effective temperatures Ay 123 Lecture I - Physical Properties
2
Wavelength( m) flux T eff Model atmospheres of varying [T eff, g] used to fit data
3
Stellar Spectral Energy Distributions Wavelength(Å) flux
4
Spectral Classification Diagnostic spectral lines act as independent measures of temperature in stellar atmosphere provided surface gravity is known
5
Stellar Spectra: Giants vs Dwarfs G K Stars are a 2-D sequence! Giants are slightly cooler than dwarfs of a similar spectral class with redder continua. This is because line strengths depend on T eff and g
6
Luminosity Classes
7
Overview of Stellar Evolution on H-R Diagram
