Subject has right ascension has spectral type has declination is part of has surface temperature is an instance of has V magnitude has color has been observ has B-V magnitude is usually part of is a kind of has apparent magnitude has synonym has definition has luminosity class

giant greater than 1000 Kelvin star High-luminosity star that lies above the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. III

K star cooler than G2 3600 to 5000 K orange to red late star Cool star with spectral type K with spectra resembling those of sunspots, in which the hydrogen lines have been greatly weakened. The HK lines (q.v.) reach their greatest intensity. Strongest lines are Ca I (4227 Å) and the G-band (4303 Å).

naked eye star Milky Way greater than 1000 Kelvin for many centuries asterism naked eye object brighter than 5 A star visible without visual aids
