NoobixCube said:Hi all,
I was wanting to know of any resources out there that can tell me the how many stars of each spectral type there are in the solar neighbourhood.
Any suggestions would be rad!
I was referring to the specific map on that page. It shows stellar class and location for the 100 or so stars in our neighborhood. I got that data from somewher, I just can't remeber where right now.NoobixCube said:I think you posted the wrong link there. That link talks about an exoplanet...
NoobixCube said:Thanks for all the suggestions, but is there not a computer readable table out the with spectral type and star name et cetera?
Scientists estimate the number of stars in the Solar neighbourhood by using a variety of telescopes and instruments to observe and measure the positions, brightness, and distances of stars in our galaxy. They then use statistical methods to extrapolate this data and estimate the total number of stars in the Solar neighbourhood.
The estimated number of stars in the Solar neighbourhood is around 100 billion. This number is constantly being revised and updated as new data and technologies become available.
No, not all the stars in the Solar neighbourhood are visible to the naked eye. While some nearby stars are bright enough to be seen without the aid of a telescope, many are too dim or too far away to be visible without specialized equipment.
Scientists classify and categorize stars in the Solar neighbourhood based on their size, temperature, brightness, and chemical composition. This helps them understand the different stages of a star's life and how they evolve over time.
Yes, there are constantly new discoveries and advancements in understanding the stars in the Solar neighbourhood. With the help of advanced telescopes and instruments, scientists are able to gather more detailed data and make new observations that help expand our knowledge of the stars in our galactic neighbourhood.
