Can you give me the list of stars with their color & size?

Question

Can you give me the list of stars with their color & size?

Answer 1

color = The color depends on the gases its made of and of how much energy it has.

Answer 2

There are millions of stars out there. How about restricting the list, say, to the stars above a certain brightness, or within a particular constellation? What do you want this list for?

Answer 3

You would need to browse the Tycho-2 catalogue, which is currently the biggest list of stars, made by the European satellite Hipparcos. It contains 2.5 million stars, so enjoy the time. ;)

Luckily you can make things easier with Celestia, which allows integrating the Tycho-2 catalogue into it.  

Answer 4

The current stellar classification system originated in the early 20th century, when stars were classified from A to Q based on the strength of the hydrogen line. It was not known at the time that the major influence on the line strength was temperature, and when the classifications were reordered by temperature, it more closely resembled the modern scheme.

There are different single-letter classifications of stars according to their spectra, ranging from type O, which are very hot, to M, which are so cool that molecules may form in their atmospheres. The main classifications in order of decreasing surface temperature are: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. A variety of rare spectral types have special classifications. The most common of these are types L and T, which classify the coldest low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. Each letter has 10 sub-divisions, numbered from 0 to 9, in order of decreasing temperature. However, this system breaks down at extreme high temperatures: class O0 and O1 stars may not exist.

In addition, stars may be classified by the luminosity effects found in their spectral lines, which correspond to their spatial size and is determined by the surface gravity. These range from 0 (hypergiants) through III (giants) to V (main sequence dwarfs) and VII (white dwarfs). Most stars belong to the main sequence, which consists of ordinary hydrogen-burning stars. These fall along a narrow, diagonal band when graphed according to their absolute magnitude and spectral type.Our Sun is a main sequence G2V yellow dwarf, being of intermediate temperature and ordinary size.

Additional nomenclature, in the form of lower-case letters, can follow the spectral type to indicate peculiar features of the spectrum. For example, an "e" can indicate the presence of emission lines; "m" represents unusually strong levels of metals, and "var" can mean variations in the spectral type.

White dwarf stars have their own class that begins with the letter D. This is further sub-divided into the classes DA, DB, DC, DO, DZ, and DQ, depending on the types of prominent lines found in the spectrum. This is followed by a numerical value that indicates the temperature index.

Answer 5

good luck finding someone who will list all the stars out there.

i will contribute to the list.

Star #1: The Sun

Location: Center of our Solar System

Size: roughly the same size as 10 Jupiters.

Color: Orangish/Red

thats one down, trillions more to go.

and will give you a list of over 500 of the stars i think but Lord only (literally) knows the count....

it may take you a while....lol
