• |
Presence of different lines determined by Spectral Class (temperature)
|
|
• |
Width of
individual lines determined by Luminosity Class

“Pressure broadening”:
|
|
|
|
• |
High density (so high pressure) frequent atomic collisions
|
|
|
|
• |
Energy levels shifted by 2nd nearby atom broad
lines

|
|
• |
Main sequence stars are “high” density and pressure
|
|
|
|
• |
Supergiants are low density and pressure
|
|
|
• |
Something can cause a main sequence star to expand to a large
size
|
|
|
to form a giant or supergiant
