Stellar Components
The primary star (catalogued as Gamma1 Delphini) is a yellow-white dwarf star of spectral type "F7V" and an apparent magnitude of 5.14. The star is thought to have about 7 times more luminosity than the Sun. The secondary star (Gamma2 Delphini) is an orange subgiant star of spectral type "K1IV" and an apparent magnitude of 4.27. This star is thought to have about 20.6 times more luminosity than the Sun. Nevertheless the cooler component (Gamma2) is more massive than Gamma1 and according to the hierarchy of masses and brightness, Gamma2 should be the primary star of the system.

Famous quotes containing the word components:
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
