Stellar Evolution Here, the pressure out equals the gravity in. Mass determines the evolution
Class Hotter Cooler Spectral Classification
Spectroscopy
s7.htm DSS-7 Spectrograph ges/project_images/solar_spectrum.jpg The appearance of a stellar spectrum. Spectra are usually recorded digitally as a graph rather than in bands of light.
How a spectrograph works: Dispersion of light from a diffraction grating light
