Glossary term: A型星

Description: A型星是指光譜類型為“A“的恆星。天文學家通過A型星光譜中存在的非常強的氫吸收線來識別它們。它們的典型(有效)溫度在7400 K到10,000 K之間。與其他恆星相比,除非受到星際或大氣層紅化的影響,否則它們在人眼中呈現白色或藍白色。天狼星是夜空中最亮的恆星,而織女星是所有其他恆星在視星等尺度上衡量其他星亮度的標準星,它們都是A型星。

Sirius A, a bright star with x-shaped diffraction spikes. Sirius B is a faint dot to the lower left.

Sirius A with his faint white dwarf companion Sirius B

Caption: This Hubble Space Telescope image highlights Sirius, the brightest star in Earth’s night sky, appearing as an intensely luminous object at the center with prominent cross-shaped diffraction spikes. These spikes, along with the saturated glow around the main star, are caused by the Sirius' light being spread out by the telescope and camera used to make this image. Slightly below and to the left of the main star, a tiny point of light marks Sirius B, a much dimmer object captured thanks to Hubble’s high sensitivity. Sirius A is an A-type star, known for its high surface temperature and strong white-blue light, while Sirius B is a compact white dwarf, the dense remnant of a star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel. Together, they form a well-known Binary star system located about 8.6 light-years from Earth. Sirius B was originally a higher mass and brighter star that burned through its hydrogen fuel more quickly than Sirius A. This led to Sirius B evolving into a red giant and eventually ending its life as a planetary nebula, leaving only the remains of its core as a white dwarf orbiting Sirius A.

A 型恒星的光譜

Caption: A 型恒星 BD-11 1212 的光譜。波長在 400 納米到 700 納米之間的光譜綫的顔色與人眼看到的該波長光綫的顔色大緻對應。在 400 納米以下和 700 納米以上,人眼幾乎看不到光,光譜綫分彆被染成藍色和紅色。 黑綫錶示恒星大氣中不同元素的原子和離子造成的光譜吸收綫。這些原子和離子會吸收特定波長的光,從而在光譜中形成尖銳的暗綫。這些綫條的強度取決於恒星大氣層的溫度。如果兩顆恒星的大氣層溫度不同,那麼由相同元素混閤而成的兩顆恒星的光譜中可能會齣現截然不同的光譜綫。來自氫原子的光譜綫在 A 型恒星的光譜中占主導地位,並且在這種光譜類型中最強。
