A-type Main-Sequence Stars
A-type Main-Sequence Stars are a category of stars that are hotter and more massive than the Sun. They typically have surface temperatures ranging from about 7,500 to 10,000 Kelvin. These stars are known for their bright blue-white color and can be found in various stages of their life cycle, primarily fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores.
These stars are classified as part of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which categorizes stars based on their luminosity and temperature. A-type stars are often surrounded by protoplanetary disks, which can lead to the formation of planetary systems. Their lifespans are relatively short, lasting around 1 to 2 billion years.
