TemperatureBasistype

How the temperature was found: "spectral type" from a published temperature scale for the star's type and luminosity class, or "colour" from its B-V colour index (a rougher guide, and the only one for a star whose type is odd or whose class is not stated).

Definition

Examples

import type { TemperatureBasis } from "@johnmorrisdotca/hoshi-stars/profile";

console.log(basis);
