Classical Instability Strip

Classical Instability Strip is a theoretical region in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram defined by specific temperature and luminosity ranges where post-main-sequence stars become dynamically unstable due to helium ionization-driven opacity mechanisms, enabling radial pulsations characteristic of classical Cepheid and RR Lyrae variable stars.
