	Star (classification) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stars are often used as symbols for classification purposes.
		In particular, a set of one to five stars is employed to categorize hotels.
		However, regardless of what public or private agency performs the classification, the term five star hotel is always associated with the ultimate luxury (and, by implication, expense).

	Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star formation begins with gravitational instability inside those clouds, often triggered by shockwaves from supernovae or the collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy).
		The particle radiation emitted by a star is manifested as the stellar wind, which exists as a steady stream of electrically charged particles (such as free protons, alpha particles, and beta particles) emanating from the star’s outer layers and as a steady stream of neutrinos emanating from the star’s core.
		The apparent brightness of a star is measured by its apparent magnitude, which is the brightness of a star with respect to the star’s luminosity, distance from Earth, and the altering of the star’s light as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere.

	Star
		As learned by star formation astronomers, stars are born in molecular clouds, regions of higher density of matter, and form by gravitational instability inside those clouds.
		There are different classifications of stars ranging from type O which are very large and bright, to M which is often just large enough to start ignition of the hydrogen.
		Most stars fall into the main sequence which is a description of stars based on their absolute magnitude and spectral type.

	eSky: Spectral Classification
		The classification of stars according to their spectra; each major spectral classification is given a letter, with additional numbers providing further subdivisions.
		Stars of this type are blue in colour and burn hotly, with surface temperatures lying between 11,000 K and 25,000 K.
		K-type stars are orange in colour, and among the brightest in the sky are Arcturus (K2), Aldebaran (K5), Pollux (K0) and Atria (K2).

	World Almanac for Kids
		Giant stars are usually diffuse, however, and may be only 40 times more massive than the sun, whereas white dwarfs are extremely dense and may have masses about 0.1 times that of the sun despite their small size.
		The birth of stars is intimately connected with the presence of dust grains and molecules, as in the Orion nebula region of earth’s galaxy.
		Stars are generally born in small groups at one edge of a large molecular cloud.

	Star Spectral Classification
		Stars can be classified by their surface temperatures as determined from Wien's Displacement Law, but this poses practical difficulties for distant stars.
		O-Type stars are very massive and evolve more rapidly than low-mass stars because they develop the necessary central pressures and temperatures for hydrogen fusion sooner.
		Because of their early development, the O-Type stars are already luminous in the huge hydrogen and helium clouds in which lower mass stars are forming.

		Pulsating stars belonging to the galactic disc (Population I).
		KW = primary is a yellow main-sequence star, secondary is a hotter subdwarf.
		Stars mistakenly thought to be variable (very common in the early days of photographic surveys!).

	Star Classification - Zoom Astronomy
		These stars will eventually explode (becoming a planetary nebula or supernova, depending on their mass) and then become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or fl holes (again depending on their mass).
		A brown dwarf is a "star" whose mass is too small to have nuclear fusion occur at its core (the temperature and pressure at its core are insufficient for fusion).
		X-ray binary stars are a special type of binary star in which one of the stars is a collapsed object such as a white dwarf, neutron star, or fl hole.

	Actor Network Theory and Classification
		The negotiated nature of standards and classifications follows from indeterminacy and multiplicity that whatever appears as universal or, indeed, standard, is the result of negotiations or conflict.
		All classification and standardization schemes are a mixture of physical entities such as paper forms, plugs, or software instructions encoded in silicon and conventional arrangements such as speed and rhythm, dimension, and how specifications are implemented.
		Classifications include types of objects, types of hardware, matches between requirements categories and code categories, and meta-categories such as the goodness of fit of the piece of code with the larger system under development.

	Articles - Hotel Rating Seeks to End Star Lottery
		The country's leading hotels may have been known by their four or five stars for years, but it was not until last week that certificates of the first unified national hotel classification system were awarded.
		Under the new system, classifications are awarded on the recommendation of a special department tourism committee, and for the first time representatives of the major international hospitality companies are an integral part of the process.
		In keeping with their previous star ratings, the National, Baltschug Kempinski and the Golden Ring were awarded five stars and the President Hotel was demoted from five to four stars.

	Star classification - Scientia Astrophysical Organization
		In astrophysics, stars are classified by their surface temperature, that is associated to specific spectral patterns.
		M stars may be dwarf stars or supergiant stars, and A stars can be white dwarfs or white giants as well.
		The Sun is not in fact a yellow star, but has the color temperature of a body of 5780 K, that is a white with no trace of yellow which is sometimes used as a definition for standard white.

		Usually found in a star's "habitable zone" or "cold zone." Low solar radiation and minimal internal heat usually result in a frozen atmosphere.

		Background: The History And Nature Of Spectral Classification Patterns of absorption lines were first observed in the spectrum of the sun by the German physicist Joseph von Fraunhofer early in the 1800’s, but it was not until late in the century that astronomers were able to routinely examine the spectra of stars in large numbers.
		Stars with strong lines of ionized helium (HeII), which were called O stars in the Harvard system, were the hottest, around 40,000 o K, because only at high temperatures would these ions be present in the atmosphere of the star in large enough numbers to produce absorption.
		The spectral classification system used today is a refinement called the MK system, introduced in the 1940’s and 1950’s by W. Morgan and P.C. Keenan at Yerkes Observatory to take account of the fact that stars at the same temperature can have different sizes.

		But all of the phenomena associated with the Sun are occuring on other stars, so understanding the Sun's behavior provides insights to how other stars might behave.
