Celestial Mass Accretion Spectrum

[Oriako]

Hello,
Over the past few weeks I've been interested in the idea of developing a celestial mass accretion spectrum, or in other words, a spectrum that places celestial objects of a given mass as being part of a band of that spectrum. This spectrum would help give definitions on what a planet is, what a star is, etc. and I'm sure could be a noticeable and useful landmark for astronomy just as the electromagnetic spectrum is in physics. The spectrum could plot the size (diameter) as a function of a logarithmic mass scale from left to right. Evolutionary trails could also be made to illustrate the lives of these objects as some will increase/decrease in mass in a certain way throughout their lives. It could be similar in fashion to the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, except more expansive in its explanatory reach.

-Asteroids-Rocky Planets-Gas Planets-Brown Dwarfs-White Dwarfs-Star-Neutron Star-Galaxy-Black Holes, etc.

And there could be a general range that each of these fit into and possibly a limit to each could be calculated one day, just as the Chandrasekhar limit was calculated.

Thoughts, Comments?

Nice idea but I always thought that significant mass accretes only in say : black holes,WD interaction in type1a supernovae and as suggested in the Accretion induced collapse.

I am not that much of an expert ,going to start my undergraduate at the end of this year.Correct me if I am mistaken.
I personally think that there is too much of data to be incorporated into a lone graph.
