R = radius (R = Sun’s radius). L = luminosity (L = Sun’s luminosity) = total outflow of radiation (ergs s−1 ). ρ̄ = mean density = M/( 43 π R 3 ). Sp = spectral classification, which may be combined with a luminosity class. m = apparent magnitude = −2.5 log apparent brightness. Typical subscripts: V = visual, B = blue, U = ultraviolet, pg = photographic, pv = photovisual, bol = bolometric (total radiation); in general, m λ = apparent magnitude of spectral region λ. U , B, V = m U , m B , m V = apparent magnitudes in the UBV system. M = absolute magnitude = apparent magnitude standardized to 10 pc without interstellar absorption. B − V = color index; (B − V )0 = intrinsic color index (i.e., no interstellar absorption); or, in general a color index is the difference in the apparent magnitude as measured at two different wavelengths. BC = bolometric correction = m bol − V (always negative). A = space absorption in magnitudes (usually visual). 381 Sp.-V/AQuan/1999/10/10:10:18 Page 382 382 / 15 N ORMAL S TARS m 0 = magnitude corrected for absorption = m − A.

Teff = stellar effective temperature (from F = σ Teff vrot = equatorial rotational velocity. g = surface gravity (cm s−2 ). d = distance, usually in parsecs (pc). π = parallax in seconds of arc ( ) = 1/d, with d in pc. All the logarithms in this chapter are common logs with a base of 10. 15.1.1 Numerical Relations M = m + 5 + 5 log π − A = m + 5 − 5 log d − A, Mbol = −2.5 log L/L + 4.74, where L = 3.845 × 1033 ergs s−1 , and +4.74 is the absolute bolometric magnitude of the Sun. The bolometric correction is the difference between the absolute visual and absolute bolometric magnitude: BC = Mbol − MV . Bolometric luminosities, radii, and effective temperatures are related by Mbol = 42.36 − 5 log R/R − 10 log Teff , where solar values of Mbol = 4.74 and Teff = 5777 K have been adopted. log L = −3.147 + 2 log R + 4 log Teff , (m bol = 0) star ≡ 2.48 × 10−5 erg cm−2 s−1 outside the Earth’s atmosphere, (Mbol = 0) star ≡ 2.97 × 1028 watts emitted radiation, (MV = 0) star ≡ 2.45 × 1029 candela. The zero age main sequence (ZAMS) is represented by [1] log R/R = 0.640 log M/M + 0.011 log R/R = 0.917 log M/M − 0.020 (0.12 < log M/M < 1.3), (−1.0 < log M/M < 0.12). The mass–luminosity relation may be written [2, 3]: log M/M = 0.48 − 0.105Mbol for −8 ≤ Mbol < 10.5, or log L/L = 3.8 log M/M + 0.08 for M > 0.2M .

The most reliable stellar masses are summarized in [5] and [6]; also, see the discussion in [2]. 15.2 SPECTRAL CLASSIFICATION We define normal stars to be those which can be classified on the MK system (specifically, [7, 8], and more generally [9]), or which are classified as white dwarfs according to the system described in [10]. Table 15.1 gives these classes. Table 15.1. MK spectral classes. MK spectral class O B A F G K M Class characteristics Hot stars with He II absorption He I absorption; H developing later Very strong H, decreasing later; Ca II increasing Ca II stronger; H weaker; metals developing Ca II strong; Fe and other metals strong; H weaker Strong metallic lines; CH and CN bands developing Very red; TiO bands developing strongly The spectral classes are further subdivided into decimal subclasses (e.g., B0, B1, B2, etc.), although not all subdivisions are used, and some classes are further subdivided (e.g., O9.5). Table 15.2 lists the MK luminosity classes. Table 15.2. MK luminosity classes. MK luminosity class Examples I supergiants II bright giants III giants IV subgiants V dwarfs (main sequence) B0 I B5 II G0 III G5 IV G0 V The luminosity classes are further subdivided (e.g., Ia, Iab, Ib, etc.). The MK classification is based on the appearance of pairs of spectral lines in the blue spectral region at a spectral resolution of approximately 2 Å, as compared to standard stars [7, 8]. The main line pairs are as shown in Table 15.3 and are illustrated in [11], [12], and [13]. Table 15.3. Line pairs for spectral classes and luminosity.

Liebert and E. Sion ([10] and illustrated examples in [14]). The system consists of: (1) first symbol: an uppercase D for a degenerate star spectrum; (2) second symbol: an uppercase letter designating the primary or dominant ion or type of element in the optical spectrum; (3) third and possible subsequent symbols: (optional) uppercase letters designating any secondary ions or types of elements appearing in the optical spectrum, usually due to species with trace abundances (special secondary symbols are also provided for spectra showing polarized light and magnetic fields, and others with peculiar spectra); and (4) a temperature index defined by 10θeff , which is equal to 50 400/Teff . Originally, this index was specified to be a single digit from 0 to 9. This index can be estimated only from at least a rough analysis of spectrophotometric data, using colors, an energy distribution or the strengths of absorption features. In this way, the system differs from traditional, purely spectroscopic methodology. If such information is unavailable or ambiguous, the temperature subtype is omitted.

Star in same temperature range showing hydrogen and weak He II. A star showing strong He II, weak He I, H, and N V features at Teff = 70 000 K. A star showing He I, H, and C features in that order of decreasing strengths, near Teff = 12 000 K. A polarized, magnetic white dwarf with unidentified spectral features, Teff ∼ 10 000 K. A metallic line white dwarf also showing weak hydrogen lines, Teff = 8500 K. A featureless, continuous spectrum with an estimated Teff = 5500 K. PHOTOMETRIC SYSTEMS Various photometric systems are used to supplement or replace the spectral classifications referred to in the last section. Optical filters are used to isolate specific spectral features or wavelength ranges, and the fluxes received through these filters are usually expressed in magnitudes, m = −2.5 log( f / f 0 ), where f is the measured flux (corrected for atmospheric effects), and f 0 is the corresponding flux for a star with m = 0. The system is defined by the magnitudes and color indices (magnitude differences) for a set of standard stars, which have been determined using a particular instrumental setup. The standard stars are used to transform measurements made with other instrumental setups to the standard system. Also important for theoretical studies are the sensitivity functions (response of the original instrumental setup to a source that emits the same flux at all wavelengths) for the various filters as a function of wavelength. The effective wavelengths (peak sensitivity) and widths at half maximum of the sensitivity functions for selected photometric systems in common use at the present time are given in Table 15.5. References containing lists of standard stars, sensitivity functions, and calibrations, are indicated in the last column. Sp.-V/AQuan/1999/10/10:10:18 Page 386 386 / 15 N ORMAL S TARS Table 15.5.
