Lecture 10: Synthesis: The Herzsprung-Russell Diagram
Update: 2006-01-17
Description
How are all of the observed properties of stars (Luminosity,
Mass, Radius, Temperature and Spectral Type) related to one another?
This lecture introduces the Herzsprung-Russell Diagram, a plot of
Luminosity versus Temperature for stars that is our most powerful tool
for unlocking the secrets of the stars.
