HR (Hertzsprung — Russell) diagram
In 1910, Ejnar Hertzsprung, a Danish astronomer and Henry Norris Russell, an American
scientist, independently felt that the absolute brightness of a star, measured in terms of its
absolute magnitude should be closely related to its color, which is indicative of its surface
temperature. In 1913, they irtdependently plotted the absolute ma, isible stars against
