Main-sequence Stars

Main-Sequence Stars is a class of stars in stellar astrophysics that are in the long-lived, hydrostatic-equilibrium phase of their evolution during which they generate energy primarily by fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores and consequently occupy the main sequence locus in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram.
