单词 hertzsprung–russell diagram
释义

Hertzsprung–Russell diagramn.

Brit. /ˌhəːtsprʌŋˌrʌsl ˈdʌɪəɡram/, U.S. /ˈˌhərtˌsprəŋˈrəsəl ˈˌdaɪəˌɡræm/
Origin: From proper names, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Hertzsprung , Russell , diagram n.
Etymology: < the names of Ejnar Hertzsprung (see Hertzsprung n.) and Henry Norris Russell (1877–1957), U.S. astrophysicist, who constructed the diagram + diagram n.The diagram was constructed and presented in a lecture by Russell in 1913 ( Pop. Astron. (1914) 22 275) and subsequently known as the Russell diagram until it was realized that such a diagram had previously been constructed by Hertzsprung in 1911 ( Publ. d. Astrophysikalischen Observatoriums zu Potsdam No. 63.) for two star clusters in the constellation Taurus.
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.
