[[Star Images]] are pictures of [[star]]s.
 
[[Star Images]] are pictures of [[star]]s.

* 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 ==
 +
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 [[Electromagnetic Spectrum|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.
 +
 +

 +
 +
=== Naming Conventions ===
 +
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). <br> <br> 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 ===
 +
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 ===
 +
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):
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
[[File:Solitary Star Of Some Type.jpg|300 px]]

The uploaded images are larger, allowing the referee to scale them to taste by using different "px" values in the line above.

==== Stellar Scale Objects ====
 +
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 ====

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:

  1. Orbit Distance Images
  2. Satellite Images

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.
