The difference in temperature between giant and dwarf stars of the same spectral class is clearly shown in the foregoing tables. The relation of absolute magnitude to effective temperature within a given class must be regarded as definitely established by observation.
The temperatures for the cooler giant stars in both these lists are somewhat lower than those given for the corresponding classes in Table V. The temperature of , for instance, is placed nearer to 4000° than to 4500°. The fact that the sun, a typical dwarf, has an effective temperature of 5600° seems to favor these lower values.
