单词 | hertzsprung–russell diagram |
释义 | Hertzsprung–Russell diagramn. Astronomy. A graph on which stars (esp. those in a galaxy or cluster) are plotted according to their brightness and spectral type, typically with decreasing visual magnitude (increasing luminosity) on the vertical axis and spectral class (decreasing surface temperature) on the horizontal axis. Formerly also called Russell diagram.

Astron. xii. 216 If the short time-scale is finally accepted, the evolutionary course suggested by the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram must be discarded and the diagram itself regarded as an unexplained statistical relation between absolute magnitude and spectral type. 1989 M.
