  2. Giant star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_star

    A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. [1] They lie above the main sequence (luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification) on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II and III. [2]

  3. Rifampicin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifampicin

    In August 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) became aware of nitrosamine impurities in certain samples of rifampin. [62] The FDA and manufacturers are investigating the origin of these impurities in rifampin, and the agency is developing testing methods for regulators and industry to detect the 1-methyl-4-nitrosopiperazine (MNP ...

  6. Rifamycin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifamycin

    Rifampin rapidly kills fast-dividing bacilli strains as well as "persisters" cells, which remain biologically inactive for long periods of time that allow them to evade antibiotic activity. [7] In addition, rifabutin and rifapentine have both been used against tuberculosis acquired in HIV-positive patients.

  8. Kappa Persei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_Persei

    [5] With an estimated age of 4.58 billion years, [6] Kappa Persei Aa is an evolved G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G9.5 IIIb. [3] It is a red clump giant, which means that it is generating energy at its core through the nuclear fusion of helium. [16] The star has about 1.5 [6] times the mass of the Sun and 9 [4] times the Sun ...

  9. Alpha Lupi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Lupi

    Alpha Lupi is a giant star with a stellar classification of B1.5 III. [4] It has about ten times the mass of the Sun [ 7 ] yet is radiating 18,000 times the Sun's luminosity. The outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 24,550 K, [ 8 ] which gives it the blue-white glow of a B-type star .
