This template is used to add colors to table cells. It follows the spectral types of stars, which are M, K, G, F, A, B and O. In this case, this template represents the M spectral type.
Examples of using this template:
| Name | Radius | Mass | Spectral type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ross 154 | 0.2 | 0.177 | M3.5V |
Since Ross 154's spectral type is M3.5V, this means it is a M-type star. To better identify the spectral type, a color can be added. After using the StarM template, the cell will be colored.
| Name | Radius | Mass | Spectral type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ross 154 | 0.2 | 0.177 | M3.5V |
Now see an example of a table with multiple stars:
| Name | Radius | Mass | Spectral type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ross 154 | 0.2 | 0.177 | M3.5V |
| Chara | 1.123 | 1.197 | G0V |
| Procyon A | 2.048 | 1.5 | F5IV-V |
| Kepler-16 A | 0.649 | 0.69 | K |
| Altair | 2.01 | 1.86 | A7Vn |
| Deneb | 203 | 19 | A2Ia |
| Iota Leonis | 2.1 | 1.62 | F4IV |
| HD 245134 | 2.738 | 1.765 | F |
| Alnitak | 20 | 33 | O9.5Iab |
| Kepler-33 | 1.66 | 1.26 | G1IV |
| Regulus | 4.35 | 3.8 | B8IVn |
