stars data
Description
Data corresponding to a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram of the star cluster CYG OB1 containing 47 stars in the direction of Cygnus. A typical Hertzsprung-Russel diagram shows the logarithm of the temperature in reverse order from high to low.
The data has been taken from Humphreys (1978) by C. Doom who calibrated them according to Vansina and De Greve (1982).
Usage

Format
A data frame containing the following variables:
