Across
- 3. Stars whose temperature and luminous place them on the main sequence of the HR Diagram
- 4. A measure of an object's luminosity
- 7. A measure of the apparent brightness of an object in the sky
- 8. A rapidly rotating disk of material that gradually rotates inward as it orbits a starlike object
- 9. A cloud of gas in space, usually one that is glowing
- 10. An object too small to become an ordinary star, resulting in fusion failing to start in its core
- 11. Waves, predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, that are created by changes in a local gravitational field and cause distortions in spacetime as they propagate outward through the universe at the speed of light
- 12. The explosion of a star
- 13. The brightest type of active galactic nucleus
- 15. A neutron star from which we observe rapid of radiation as it rotates
- 16. The hot, compact corpse of low mass stars
- 18. A forming star that has not yet reached the point where sustained fusion can occur in its core
Down
- 1. The compact corpse of a high mass star left over after a supernova
- 2. A giant star that is red in color
- 5. A glowing, expanding cloud of debris from a supernova explosion
- 6. A bottomless pit in spacetime. Nothing can escape from within a black hole, and we can never again detect or observe an object that falls into a black hole
- 14. A large glowing ball of gas that generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core
- 17. A graph plotting individual stars as points, with stellar luminosity on the vertical axis and spectral type (or surface temperature) on the horizontal axis
