B star 11000 to 28000 K early star He I O, B, A, and early F Blue-white star of spectral type B whose spectra are characterized by absorption lines of neutral helium which reach their maximum intensity at B2. The Balmer lines of hydrogen are strong, and lines of singly ionized oxygen and other gases are also present. blue-white

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