what are the two most important intrinsic properties for classifying stars?

Stars are remarkably simple objects: their mass and age determine the basic properties. This lecture discusses how we determine the distance and luminosity of stars and how this relates to the Star's size and temperature.

Astronomers classify stars according to their physical characteristics. Characteristics used to classify stars include color, temperature, size, composition, and brightness. Stars vary in their chemical composition.

Type A stars, which are hotter, are white in color and maintain temperatures of around 10,000 °C or 18,000 °F. The hottest of the types, B and O, are blue stars while the coolest of type M is red in color and have surface temperatures of about 3,000 °C or 5,400 °F.

Luminosity classes are labeled with Roman numerals from I to V: I are supergiant stars, II are bright giants, III are ordinary giants, IV are subgiants, and V are ordinary main sequence stars. The complete spectral classification for a star is then given by specifying both the spectral class and the luminosity class.

Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc.

There are seven main types of stars. In order of decreasing temperature, O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. This is known as the Morgan–Keenan (MK) system. The majority of all stars in our galaxy and even the Universe are main-sequence stars.

Today, we call these imaginary patterns of stars constellations. Astronomers classify stars according to their physical characteristics. Characteristics used to classify stars include color, temperature, size, composition, and brightness.

The Luminosity of a star depends on BOTH its temperature and its radius (surface area): L is proportional to R2 T4. A hotter star is more luminous than a cooler one of the same radius. A bigger star is more luminous than a smaller one of the same temperature.

The two types of variable stars are intrinsic variables and extrinsic variables.

The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample being observed is large or small. Examples of characteristic properties include freezing/melting point, boiling/condensing point, density, viscosity and solubility.

Observations of thousands of main sequence stars show that there is definite relationship between their mass and their luminosity. The more massive main sequence stars are hotter and more luminous than the low-mass main sequence stars.

Stars. A star is a sphere of gas held together by its own gravity. The closest star to Earth is our very own Sun, so we have an example nearby that astronomers can study in detail.
