Hα spectrum of Alpha Cygni - Deneb - HD 197345 - SAO 49941 [A2Ia]
Alpha Cygni is a prototype of variable stars which exhibit non-radial pulsations, meaning that some portions of the stellar surface are contracting at the same time, other pats expand. It is a supergiant star in the passage of blue giant to red giant. Stellar wind is shown in the spectra profile of Ha. |
