- First Stars After the Big Bang Were Not Huge, Lonely Objects - Feb 9, 2011
- Star - "A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma held together by gravity. At the end of its lifetime, a star can also contain a proportion of degenerate matter. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun..." - Wikipedia
- Stellar classification - "... stellar classification is a classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics..." - Wikipedia
- Stellar kinematics - "Stellar kinematics is the study of the movement of stars without needing to understand how they acquired their motion." - Wikipedia
- Stellar magnetic field - "A stellar magnetic field is a magnetic field generated by the motion of conductive plasma inside a main sequence (hydrogen-burning) star." - Wikipedia
- Stellar rotation - "Stellar rotation is the angular motion of a star about its axis." - Wikipedia
- Stellar structure - "Stars of different mass and age have varying internal structures. Stellar structure models describe the internal structure of a star in detail and make detailed predictions about the luminosity, the color and the future evolution of the star." - Wikipedia
- Variable star - "A star is classified as variable if its apparent magnitude as seen from Earth changes over time..." - Wikipedia
- How to learn a star's true age - "Measuring stellar rotation rates is a promising new method to learn the ages of isolated stars." - Astronomy News - May 23, 2011
- The rose-red glow of star formation - "The vivid red cloud in this new image... is a region of glowing hydrogen... such regions of ionized hydrogen — known as HII regions — are sites of creation with high rates of recent star birth." - Astronomy News - March 30, 2011
- Neutron Stars Create New Exotic Form of Matter Not Found on Earth - The Daily Galaxy - Feb 7, 2011
- First stars in the universe weren't lonely - "The findings challenge the previously held wisdom that primordial stars formed in complete isolation, rather than in groups typical for stars in our Milky Way Galaxy." - Astronomy News - Feb 4, 2011
- First stars may still shine - "Analysis suggests some slow-burning remnants of the early universe may still exist" - Science News - Feb 3, 2011
