Stellar Astrophysics

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Stellar Astrophysics.

  • B-type Main-Sequence Star — A star assigned both B spectral type and luminosity class V by stellar-spectrum morphology, ordinarily identifying a hot, blue, core-hydrogen-burning object while preserving rotation, composition, multiplicity, and evolutionary-state caveats.
  • Baade–Wesselink Method — A pulsating-star distance method that fits phase-resolved angular-diameter variation to physical radius displacement inferred by integrating projection-corrected spectroscopic radial velocities.
