Details

The Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram forms the basis of the theory of stellar evolution. The diagram is essentially a plot of the energy output of stars plotted against their surface temperature. Data from the H-R diagram of Star Cluster CYG OB1, calibrated according to VanismaGreve1972 are given here.

Examples
