User:Xterminal1/List of largest known stars 2

This is the second version of Xterminal1's list of largest known stars above 100 R ☉. As of 19 Jun 2024, this list is incomplete, and more stars will be included.

A star is an astronomical object that produces energy via nuclear fusion. White dwarfs, brown dwarfs, sub-brown dwarfs, neutron stars, hypothetical black dwarfs, and other similar hypothetical objects are not listed in this page as they fail to meet the definition of a star.

The solar radius is used to clearly compare the sizes of numerous stars. Roughly speaking, 1 solar radius ( R ☉) is equal to 695,700 kilometres (~432,287 miles).

The spectral classes for most supergiant stars are derived from the RSGs and Close Stars Catalog, a GitHub repository developed by SNEWS2.0. The catalog adopts a mean spectral type based on various spectral types given from numerous papers, providing a reliable estimation.
