O-type star  

Definición

  • An O star, or O-type star, is a massive, luminous, blue star of spectral type O. O stars have surface temperatures of 30,000°–50,000°C and masses of 20–100 solar masses. Their spectra are dominated by emission lines of singly ionized helium (these lines forming the so-called Pickering series). Most other lines are from at least doubly ionized elements, although H and He I lines are also present.
