Main sequence fitting also determines distances using the HR Diagram but is always applied to clusters of stars. These stars are gravitationally bound, all located at the same distance, and formed at the same time from the same cloud of gas and dust. It is assumed that the members of a cluster will be found at the same locations as stars in general on the HR diagram. Thus, 90% of the cluster stars are on the main sequence.
A HertzsprungâRussell diagram plots the actual brightness (or absolute magnitude) of a star against its color index (represented as BâV). The main sequence is visible as a prominent diagonal band that runs from the upper left to the lower right.This plot shows 22,000 stars from the Hipparcos Catalogue together with 1,000 low-luminosity stars (red and white dwarfs) from the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars.ulsating stars in this part of the instability strip that intersects the upper part of the main sequence are called Delta Scuti variables. Main-sequence stars in this region experience only small changes in magnitude and so this variation is difficult to detect.
