The 22 pages that link to Color–magnitude diagram, each with the reason it gives.

• Globular clusterRelated: Its main sequence turnoff provides an estimate of a cluster’s age.

• Stellar populationRelated: Its sequences reveal population ages and compositions in resolved stellar systems.

• Main sequenceRelated: Its main-sequence pattern reveals the properties and evolutionary state of a stellar population.

• Hertzsprung–Russell diagramRelated: It applies the diagram’s logic to observed cluster brightness and color.

• Standard candleRelated: Its stellar-population features help identify and calibrate distance indicators.

• Light curveCompared with: It organizes stellar properties rather than showing how one object's brightness changes over time.

• Open clusterRelated: A cluster’s coeval stars form a pattern that constrains its age and distance.

• Horizontal branchRelated: It shows the branch in observed stellar populations, including clusters.

• Star clusterRelated: A cluster’s diagram reveals its age and stellar evolutionary stages.

• Color indexBroader topic: It uses a color index as one axis and magnitude as the other.
