A and F Type Stars Talk

On Saturday I did another talk for the Cambridge Young Astronomers. This months topic was covering the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and explaining all the different star types within it. I was given A and F type stars for my talk.

Hertzsprung Russell Diagram

I started by looking at the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and then gave facts on A and F type stars. I then picked an A and F type star example and explained more about the stars. My example of an A type star was Vega and my example of an F type star was Polaris.

I have put a copy of ‘A and F Type Stars’ talk on the downloads page if you want to have a look at it.
