The 43 pages that link to Main sequence, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar structureRelated: Core fusion supplies energy that maintains the structure of most stellar lifetimes.

• Stellar massRelated: Mass largely determines a main-sequence star’s luminosity and lifetime.

• Hans BetheRelated: Bethe’s hydrogen-burning cycles explain the long-lived energy output of main-sequence stars.

• Cecilia Payne-GaposchkinRelated: Her account of hydrogen-rich stars connects to the dominant energy source of main-sequence stars.

• CNO cycleRelated: CNO fusion supplies core energy in sufficiently hot main-sequence stars.

• Stellar rotationRelated: Rotation evolves during this phase through magnetic braking, internal transport, and mass loss.

• Solar luminosityRelated: The Sun’s output places it among main-sequence stars and helps compare their energy production.

• Stellar ageRelated: A star’s position and evolution along this phase constrain its age.

• StarRelated: Most stars spend the majority of their lifetimes in this phase.

• Radiative zoneRelated: Radiative zones are common in main-sequence stars, but their extent depends on stellar mass.

• Blue stragglerRelated: Blue stragglers lie above the cluster’s main-sequence turnoff, where ordinary stars have already evolved away.

• O-type starRelated: Most O-type stars spend their brief, luminous lives on the main sequence.

• PleiadesRelated: Most Pleiades stars lie on the main sequence, with massive members evolving rapidly.

• Omega CentauriRelated: Its turnoff in the cluster’s color-magnitude diagram constrains stellar ages.

• Blue supergiantRelated: Massive stars can evolve from the main sequence into blue-supergiant states.

• Red-giant branchRelated: Stars enter the red-giant branch after core hydrogen fusion ends.

• Solar coreRelated: The Sun has spent most of its life in this phase, steadily consuming core hydrogen.

• FomalhautRelated: Fomalhaut is a young A-type star still burning hydrogen on the main sequence.

• Beehive ClusterRelated: Most Beehive members occupy this band on the cluster's color–magnitude diagram.

• Timeline of the far futureRelated: The Sun’s remaining time in this phase sets the approximate timing of major solar changes.

• Yellow supergiantRelated: Yellow supergiants have evolved beyond this hydrogen-burning phase.
