Stars, simply put[edit]

Working lists[edit]

Alcyone.de cleanup:

Alcyone Software spamlinks into star stubs! ~~/INSERT WORST IMAGINABLE CURSE HERE!/~~ (calm down User:Rursus! Rursus dixit. (^mbork³!) 12:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC))

Alcyone.de provides star catalogue data online — most of those links only provides limited crossref data, elsewhere provided by SIMBAD and the articles themselves. Such crossref data are not needed, but if the site provides/collates data about the star itself, which happens for bright stars, it can be used if better sources aren't available.

To fixup afterwards: Category:Star stubs

Hydrogen deficits[edit]

The WO Wolf-Rayets may, acc2 some theories, give rise to some type Ic supernovae, and mossibly even hypernovae.

Green stars[edit]

Hello! I know you're there! Don't pretend you don't exist, because you must exist in order to pretend. (Some WR:s and early O stars might actually be green).

Star types[edit]

Dnoces[edit]

Navi, Dnoces and Regor, deserve an article based on NASA mtrl, MSN article and space.com article. To be patterned from Sualocin and Rotanev.

HR-related[edit]

Dwarf star, fix "blue dwarf" that has been applied also to PNCS:s.

lum[edit]

VII	White Dwarf	FA class - nothing to do
VI	Subdwarf star	Start class - maybe add about (sd)/sd/esd, lumVI and update img to contain hot sds
V	Main sequence	GA class - maybe SVGize Image:PPvsCNO.png article hydrogen burning process needs much more info
IV	Subgiant	Stub that already contains most necessary info, formatting and reformulation, maybe an image on the evolution curves where stars are assumed to turn subgiants;
III	Giant star	Lacks assessment, in heavy need of heavy cleanup, if possible...
II	Bright giant	Stub
Ia/b	Supergiant	Lacks assessment, stubby, talkers screams for facts: How are Supergiants formed? What is the energy source of a supergiant?
Ia0	Hypergiant	C class, fusion modes requested (refs to supernovae)?

Sp[edit]

extreme horizontal branch star, see EHB star, actually I don't know what he means!
FGK stars, are stars of class F, G and K,
OB star,
S-type star, MUST FIX!!
Tip of the red giant branch,
Turnoff point, bad! speaks to much about stars that won't reach the turnoff point.
ultra-cool star, see ultra-cool star, M7 or redder
Y class star and Y star reqd at Talk:Brown dwarf.
