Three measures of this property are calibrated relative to six different A0V (“A zero five”) stars in the Johnson–Morgan system. A layer of stellar atmosphere named for this property features prominent H-alpha and Calcium II spectral lines and lies between the photosphere and the transition region. Effective temperature decreases along diagonals of a diagram named for placing measures of this property on both axes. An (*) “index” of this property computed as “B minus V” is sometimes used as a substitute for temperature on the x-axis of a Hertzsprung–Russel diagram. Stars enter a tract named for their size and this property near the end of the main sequence. Photometric scales measure this property that names classes of “dwarfs” and “giants.” For 10 points, name this property of stellar spectra that characterizes the chromosphere. ■END■
