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.
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.fter the hydrogen fuel at the core has been consumed, the star evolves away from the main sequence on the HR diagram. The behavior of a star now depends on its mass, with stars below 0.23 M â becoming white dwarfs directly, whereas stars with up to ten solar masses pass through a red giant stage.
