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...)
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

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. I start this...
