Ayu is a type <strong>G6V <\/strong>star. This means it is like our sun (<strong>Sol<\/strong>) but a little smaller and weaker. Sol is a type G2V star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type G stars are also known as <strong>yellow dwarfs<\/strong>. The designation G tells us that Ayu fuses hydrogen. The V tells us that it is on the main sequence, that is to say it is an active, burning star. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">G_V stars also receive a numerical designation. The largest ones are G0V and the smallest are G9V. As a G6V star, Ayu is therefore one of the smaller type G stars. If we say Sol has a mass of 1, then Ayu has a mass of 0.97.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The masses of the two stars may be similar but they have very different luminosity. Sol has a luminosity of 1.02 and emits a whiteish light. Ayu has a luminosity of just 0.79. Its light is best described as yellow-white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type G stars stay on the main sequence for around 10 billion years. Sol is some 4.6 billion years old. As Ayu is amongst the smaller type G stars, it burns more slowly, so can be expected to last around 11 billion years. It is currently around 4 billion years old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The core of the solar system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[186,189],"tags":[138,139],"class_list":["post-2903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nature","category-places","tag-ayu","tag-solar-system","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2903"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2903\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3014,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2903\/revisions\/3014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
