Star Images are pictures of stars.
- Stars occur in multiple combinations: the most common of these are represented by the images below.
- Additional star images (typically unusual stellar combinations) can be supplied on request.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Images of stars are provided to give players and referees a feel of the nature of the stars that the system is centered on.
- The images are intended to inspire the imagination. All stars put out a tremendous amount of energy across all wavelengths, and even small dim examples, close up, are very bright indeed: most stars are fairly white-looking to human eyes. But, an image of a reddish or orange-colored or blue star is far more evocative.
- The images do not accurately depict the sizes of stars relative to one another. Giant stars are truly huge, and a normal main sequence star next to one would be a tiny, almost invisible dot.
- No attempt to represent distances between stars is made.
For additional related images also see:
Naming Conventions[edit]
Stars are named according to their color - M Type (red stars), K Type (orange stars), G Type (yellow stars), F Type (white stars), and A Type (blue-white stars).
D Type (white dwarf stellar remnants, represented by a white dot) and BD Type (brown dwarf objects, represented by a reddish banded planet) are included.
- Some stars will have specific information relating to their size - Subgiant, Giant, Bright Giant, Supergiant.
- Some combinations of stars may have additional notes such as Close.
As images are updated, a sequential number is given to them, beginning with 2. The earlier version of the image is deleted.
Usage[edit]
In order to use these images, edit the section containing the image and copy the appropriate line of data for the image.
Paste the whole line of data into your article.
- If you do accidentally make changes to this article, please do not save those changes.
- Please see the disclaimer, below, regarding usage.
Alternatively, open the image, copy the name, and use it within the Image Size format shown below.
Image Size[edit]
These images are intended to be displayed at set sizes - 300, 500, or 700 pixels wide (100 pixels is about 1 inch, or about 25 mm).
- A solitary star is displayed at 300 pixels
- Binary stars are displayed at 500 pixels.
- Trinary (or more) stars are displayed at 700 pixels.
This is achieved by using the following format (though be aware, not all images are jpgs):
[[File:Solitary Star Of Some Type.jpg|300 px]] [[File:Binary Stars In Some Combination.jpg|500 px]] [[File:Trinary Or More Stars.jpg|700 px]]
The uploaded images are larger, allowing the referee to scale them to taste by using different "px" values in the line above.
Solitary Stars[edit]
Systems with only one star (or stellar scale object such as a brown dwarf) within the hex.
Main Sequence Stars[edit]
(Also use for subdwarf stars)
Stellar Scale Objects[edit]
Two types of objects are depicted:
- White Dwarf stellar remnants, the miniscule, extremely dense, intensely hot cores of dead stars.
- Brown Dwarf substellar objects, gigantic warm gas giant-stars not quite massive enough to ignite hydrogen fusion.
- Black Holes, the collapsed remnants of gigantic stars.
Subgiant Stars[edit]
Large stars that have either used up their hydrogen and are evolving into giants, or stars that formed as subgiants.
- Red M type subgiant stars don't exist in nature.
Giant Stars[edit]
Huge stars that have used up their hydrogen, begun fusing helium or other elements, and have swollen to enormous size.
Supergiant Stars[edit]
Truly gigantic, turbulent, short-lived giant stars that formed as a giant.
Brightest Supergiant Stars[edit]
Binary Stars[edit]
Systems with two stars (or stellar scale objects such as brown dwarfs) within the hex.
Main Sequence Stars[edit]
(Also use for subdwarf stars)
Red M Type[edit]
Cool, extremely long-lived stars that frequently display strong flare activity.
Subdwarf Companions[edit]
Orange K Type[edit]
An orange K Type primary with a less massive companion.
Yellow G Type[edit]
A yellow G Type primary with a less massive companion.
White F Type[edit]
A large F Type primary with a less massive companion.
Blue-White A Type[edit]
A large A Type primary with a less massive companion.
With Substellar Objects[edit]
Two types of objects are depicted:
- White Dwarf stellar remnants.
- Brown Dwarf substellar objects.
White Dwarf Companions[edit]
White dwarfs are the miniscule, extremely dense, intensely hot cores of dead stars.
Brown Dwarf Companions[edit]
Brown Dwarfs are gigantic warm "gas giant-stars", with crushing gravity but not quite enough mass to ignite hydrogen fusion.
Subgiant Stars[edit]
Red M type subgiant stars don't exist in nature.
Orange Subgiant K Type[edit]
Yellow Subgiant G Type[edit]
Yellow-White Subgiant F Type[edit]
Blue-White Subgiant Subgiant A Type[edit]
Giant Stars[edit]
Huge stars that have used up their hydrogen, begun fusing helium or other elements, and have swollen to enormous size.
Red Giant M Type[edit]
Orange Giant K Type[edit]
Yellow Giant G Type[edit]
Yellow-White Giant F Type[edit]
Blue-White Giant A Type[edit]
Bright Giant Stars[edit]
Huge, turbulent, short-lived giant stars that formed as a giant.
Binary Red Bright Giants[edit]
Binary Orange Bright Giants[edit]
Binary Yellow Bright Giants[edit]
Binary White Bright Giants[edit]
Binary Blue-White Bright Giants[edit]
Binary Supergiant Stars[edit]
Huge, turbulent, short-lived giant stars that formed as a giant.
Trinary Stars[edit]
Systems with three stars (or stellar scale objects such as brown dwarfs) within the hex.
Main Sequence Stars[edit]
(Also use for subdwarf stars)
Red M Type Stars[edit]
Orange K Type Stars[edit]
Yellow G Type Stars[edit]
White F Type Stars[edit]
Blue-White A Type Stars[edit]
Trinary Subgiant Stars[edit]

Trinary Orange Giant Stars[edit]
Trinary Yellow Giant Stars[edit]
Trinary White Giant Stars[edit]
Trinary Blue-White Giant Stars[edit]
Trinary Supergiant Stars[edit]
Truly gigantic, turbulent, short-lived giant stars that formed as a giant.
Quaternary Stars[edit]
Systems with four stars (or stellar scale objects such as brown dwarfs) within the hex.
- Note that these are generally created for one specific star system.
Quaternary M Type[edit]
Quaternary K Type[edit]
Quaternary G Type[edit]
Quaternary F Type[edit]
Quaternary A Type[edit]
Quaternary Subgiant Stars[edit]
Red M type subgiant stars don't exist in nature.
