temperature, size, color of stars alpha beta gamma and delta would be what i am looking for.Does anyone have information on the constellation Casseiopeia?Cassiopeia (only one e) forms a distinctive W-shape asterism which is easily recognised in the skies.
The four brightest stars are all 2nd magnitude:
Tsih; γ Cassiopeia: Magnitude: 2.15. Distance 613 light years. Stellar classification: B0 IV: evar prototype of the γ Cas variables.
The apparent magnitude of this star was +2.2 in 1937, +3.4 in 1940, +2.9 in 1949, +2.7 in 1965 and now it is +2.15. At maximum intensity, γ Cassiopeiae outshines both α Cassiopeiae and β Cassiopeiae.
Schedar: α Cassiopeia: Magnitude: 2.24. Distance 229 ± 9 light years. Stellar classification: K0 II-III var (giant).
Caph: β Cassiopeia: Magnitude: 2.28. Distance 47 ± 4 light years. Stellar classification: F2 III-IV (giant). δ Scuti variable. Its brightness varies from magnitude +2.25 to +2.31 with a period of 2.5 hours
Ruchbah: δ Cassiopeia: Magnitude: 2.66. Distance 99.4 ± 1.9 light years. Stellar classification: A5 Vv SB eclipsing binary. Its magnitude varies between +2.68 mag and +2.74 with a period of 759 days
TSIH: As a B0 star it is blue, with a photospheric temperature of 25,000 K and is perhaps 7 Solar diameters in size.
SCHEDAR: As a K0 star it is orange, with a photospheric temperature of 4,530 K and is about 42 Solar diameters in size.
CAPH: As a F2 star it is yellow, with a photospheric temperature of about 6,700 K and is about 4 Solar diameters in size.
RUCHBAH: As an A5 star it is white, with a photospheric temperature of 8,000 K and is about 2.1 Solar diameters in size.

Cassiopeia contains two stars visible to the naked eye that rank among the most luminous in the galaxy: ρ Cas and V509 Cas. The star η Cas is a nearby (19.4 ly) binary star comprising of a yellow Sun-like dwarf and an orange dwarf star.
If we were to observe Earth's Sun from Alpha Centauri, it would appear to be in Cassiopeia as a yellow-white 0.5 magnitude star. The famous "W" of Cassiopeia would become a zig-zag pattern with the Sun at the leftmost end, closest to ε Cas.Does anyone have information on the constellation Casseiopeia?
There are star atlases that tell you that. The constellation is not particularly bright.Does anyone have information on the constellation Casseiopeia?Try the source.Does anyone have information on the constellation Casseiopeia?
you should ask the guy Astro whi answers questions in here ! he is an astronomer! he'll know everything you need to know especially the star info.
He helps me out alot!
Really nice he is .
asktheastronomer@gmail.comDoes anyone have information on the constellation Casseiopeia?the myth was that the queen was chained onto the thingy to be eaten by some sea monster or another. long and complicated. look it up.Does anyone have information on the constellation Casseiopeia?
I don't. But if you can figure out how to use a search engine, there are a *bunch* of sites that have lots of information on that constellation.
