K star | 3600 to 5000 K | late star | cooler than G2 | 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). | orange to red | |||||
