Star Groups
• Constellation – Group of stars that form a pattern in the sky that resembles an animal or mythological character
• Seen at different times of the year
Orion’s Belt

Star Groups• Cluster – Group of stars gravitationally bound
to each other• Some are densely packed (globular) and some
are loosely packed (open)

Star Groups• Binary Star – two stars that are gravitationally
bound to each other and orbit a common center of mass (ex: Sirius)– Can appear to be one star to the human eye

Units of Distance
• Light Year (ly) – Distance light travels in one year– 9.461 x 1012km
• Parsec (pc) – 3.26 ly or 3.086 x 1013km

Parallax
• The apparent shift in position caused by the motion of the observer
• The closer the star, the larger the shift

Basic Properties of Stars
• Apparent Magnitude – How bright a star appears to be
• Absolute Magnitude– Brightness an object would have if it were placed
at a distance of 10pc– Calculates for equal distance– Can only be used if stars distance is known

Basic Properties of Stars
• Luminosity – Energy output from
the surface of a star per second
– Measured in Watts– Must know distance
of star and apparent magnitude

Hertzsprung Russell Diagram
• H-R Diagram – graph that organizes stellar characteristics (By temp and luminosity)
• Main Sequence – runs diagonally from the upper left corner, hot luminous stars, to lower right corner, cool dim stars– 90% of all stars, including the Sun
