30. G8
The spectral type (except for the supergiants) is determined from the ratios 4144: H and 4096: H and the ratio of the blend at 4030-4034 to the violet side of the G band. On the spectrograms used, H appears to be stronger in dwarfs of this class than in giants and subgiants.

NOTE | ||||||
1. The luminosity criteria of this high-velocity star are conflicting. The ratio 4071: 4077 indicates a giant, while the CN break at 4215 is almost invisible, as in class IV-V. |
Some of the most important luminosity line ratios are 4045: 4077, 4063: 4077, and 4144: 4077. The break in the continuous spectrum at 4215 is one of the most sensitive discriminants of absolute magnitude. Other features are noted on the Atlas print.
