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.
