Classification Of Variable Stars

The classification of variable stars (Classification of Variable Stars) refers to the process of categorizing variable stars into different types based on observations and analysis of their light curves, spectral characteristics, and other data. This process aims to uncover the physical properties and evolutionary status of variable stars, providing crucial information for astrophysical research. The application value of variable star classification lies in helping scientists understand the internal structure of stars, their periodic changes, and their impact on the cosmic environment, while also playing a key role in distance measurement and studies of galactic structure.
