The colour of a glowing object is related to temperature but despite this, astronomers do not use colour directly to determine a star's surface temperature. After reviewing blackbody radiation, this video discusses why this is and also reviews the two ways astronomers determine a star's temperature.
I refer to the paper by René Heller and Jan-Vincent Harre. You can find their paper here - https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.06254 |
