Spectral and Luminosity Classification

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a comprehensive table of spectral and luminosity classifications that includes details on spectral classes, mass, luminosity, radius, and evolved stars. They found a helpful resource but noted it lacks information on evolved stars. Suggestions include creating a new table if no existing one is found. A recommendation is made to consult Allen's "Astrophysical Quantities," particularly Chapter 15, which is available for preview on Google Books. This resource may provide the necessary information for the user's needs.

I am looking for a table of spectral and luminosity classification that shows the breakdown of spectral classes, mass, luminosity, radius, and includes evolved stars. Has anyone seen something like this. I did find this: http://nrumiano.free.fr/Estars/classes.html It is helpful, but doesn't include evolved stars. If no one has seen something like this, maybe I should make one.

If you can get a copy, Allen's Astrophysical Quantities will have what you need.
 
Said book is available pretty much in it's entirety as a preview on Google Books (don't ask me why). You'll probably be wanting Chapter 15 (p 381...)
 
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
