	Mirfak - MSN Encarta
		Mirfak is a very bright star with an intrinsic luminosity, or total light output, that rates an absolute magnitude of -5.1 (bright stars have low or even negative magnitude values).
		Mirfak’s surface temperature is 6200° C (11,000°F), which is about 10 percent greater than the surface temperature of the sun and gives the star a yellow-white color.
		From its composition, temperature, and size, astronomers classify Mirfak as a supergiant star—an older star that has used up the hydrogen fuel in its core and is now burning hydrogen in its outer shell and helium in its core.

		Mirfak's rather healthy measured distance of 590 light years implies great brilliance, the star a mid-temperature (6180 Kelvin) class F (F5) supergiant with a luminosity 5000 times that of the Sun and a radius 62 times solar.
		Mirfak is thus instrumental in defining the natures of such stars, and may be a very modest pulsator itself.
		Mirfak is the brightest member of the young "Alpha Persei Cluster," which contains many of the fainter surrounding stars (most likely including Delta Persei), the "elbow of the Pleiades" having something of a "Pleiades" of its own.

		Mirfak is a member of a cluster of stars known as the Alpha Persei Cluster, which is easily visible in binoculars and includes many of the fainter stars of Perseus.
		In the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, Mirfak lies very close to the region in which Cepheid variables are found.
