spektritüüp
Spektritüüp refers to the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics, specifically the absorption lines present in their emitted light. This classification system is crucial for understanding a star's physical properties, such as its temperature, composition, and luminosity. The most common spectral classification scheme uses letters, arranged in the order O, B, A, F, G, K, and M, with O-type stars being the hottest and M-type stars being the coolest. Each letter class is further subdivided into numbers from 0 to 9, providing a more refined temperature scale.
The spectral type is determined by analyzing the spectrum of a star. When light from a star's
Beyond temperature, spectral type also provides insights into a star's chemical makeup. While the temperature dictates
