INTERPLANETARY NAVIGATION STUDIES: THE ENERGY DISTRIBUTION IN STELLAR SPECTRA
Abstract
The colors of stars may be valuable in finding and identifying those stars which are useful in interplanetary flight. Stellar colors are indicated by color indices, spectral types, or gradients, for which black-body temperatures defined in various ways approximately represent the spectral continuum energy distribution. A table of representative temperatures is given, as well as color information for the brightest stars. (Author)
