How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Surface Temperature (K) and Radius (solar radii) to compute luminosity via the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
- Enter Initial Mass (solar masses), Current Age (Gyr), and Metallicity to trace the star's evolutionary stage.
- For distance estimation, enter Apparent Magnitude and Absolute Magnitude or Parallax (arcsec) to compute Distance (pc).
- Read the Stellar Comparison chart to see where the star falls relative to the Sun, Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Proxima Centauri on an H-R diagram.
- Use pp-chain and CNO cycle dominance outputs to understand which nuclear fusion pathway dominates at the star's core temperature.
