Subject: Red stars (observation report)





Ever notice them? It doesnˇ¦t take much effort to spot these stars ˇX given
dark enough skies with the resulting large number of other blue and white
stars to make the red ones stand out. I spotted two new ones for me
tonight; Mirach in the constellation Andromeda and Shedir in the
constellation Cassiopeia. Actually, I was aware from years of reading about
astronomy that Mirach was very red but funny, I never noticed until
tonight. Shedir was close by which made me notice it also. It isnˇ¦t quite
as red as Mirach but does have a definite redness about it.

I had gone to a boat launch by a lake about 5 miles from my house tonight
with my 12.5 inch dobsonian and 7 x 50 binoculars. As it ended up, I never
set up the telescope (just left it in the car and trunk) because mosquitoes
were rampant. As I sat on the hood of my car, one foot on the ground and
one foot on my carˇ¦s front bumper, I surveyed the eastern horizon. Funny
how one can never get tired of looking at the same things year after year.
. .photons from the Andromeda Galaxy filled my eyes. The NELM of the sky
was about 5.5 ˇX not great ˇX but good enough that I figured I had a chance
at getting a visual of the North American Nebula (NGC 7000). Nope. Couldnˇ¦t
make it out with unassisted eyeballs or the binoculars. Still, the Milky
Way showed some stratification.

I ended up this short 30 minute observing session by trying to see the
faintest stars I could with my bare eyes. A good test for me here is to
attempt to make out the 5.5 magnitude close partner of Eta Ursae Minoris.
Upon discerning it, I eased in my car and headed home. Some of my most
satisfying observation sessions continue to come without telescopic aid.

RA: 06h 36m 32.836s Dec: +38=B026'43.800"

Lists of carbon stars can be found at
http://www.nckas.org/carbonstars/#Aur and
http://www.nckas.org/carbonstars/#Aur and
http://www.aho.ch/pilotplanets/files/carbonred1.htm

I suggest giving V Aquilae, S Cephei, V Hydrae, R Leporis, and T Lyrae
a try as well some time.

Rising in the wee hours of the morning. If you can get out at about
3:00 AM you may see Betelgeuse rising.

When I first learned to star-hop, I soon appreciated a unique feature
of the _Norton's Star Atlas_ charts: conspicuously red stars had the
superscript "R" appended to their Bayer letters or Flamsteed numbers.
As it turns out, reddish suns are just rare enough to serve as handy
mileposts when navigating otherwise indistinctive fields of stars.

Yes Martin - I do! My homepage
http://home.freeuk.com/m.gavin/starcol.htm is devoted to these red
stars with hi-saturation colour images including UU Aur and I started a
second on infra-red images that pick up all the red/IR stars at
http://home.freeuk.com/m.gavin/irstel.htm ;-)

Very nice work on that homepage and most interesting.


Here are two other things I am vague about:

1. Are red stars (M class) located on the far right side of the H-R
diagram?

2. If so, then isn't the next stop for those stars invisibility?

M stars have a variety of luminosity classes. Dwarf M stars (luminosity
class V) are on or quite close the "main sequence" somewhat to the lower
right of where the sun is. They generally have to be fairly close to us
to show much color, as they are intrinsically fairly faint (a good
example is the companion to Eta Cassiopeiae). They also fuse their
hydrogen so slowly that they may outlast many of the other stars in our
galaxy. Giant M-class stars (luminosity class I, II, or III) tend to be
above the main sequence and to the right of the sun's location. Carbon
stars are giants as well, but the Carbon and other absorption bands in
their spectra make them appear somewhat redder than even many M-class
stars. These giants are evolved stars which are indeed "on their way
out", as stars go, although the aren't exactly going to vanish anytime
