  2. Extinction (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_(astronomy)

    Interstellar reddening is a different phenomenon from redshift, which is the proportional frequency shifts of spectra without distortion. Reddening preferentially removes shorter wavelength photons from a radiated spectrum while leaving behind the longer wavelength photons, leaving the spectroscopic lines unchanged.

    interstellar reddening An effect produced by the incremental absorption and scattering of electromagnetic energy from interstellar matter, known as extinction. This effect causes more distant objects such as stars to appear redder and dimmer than expected. It is not to be confused with the separate phenomenon of redshift. invariable plane

    The Strömgren photometric system, abbreviated also as uvbyβ or simply uvby, and sometimes referred as Strömgren - Crawford photometric system, is a four-colour medium-passband photometric system plus Hβ (H-beta) filters for determining magnitudes and obtaining spectral classification of stars.

    The binary HD 300933/4 is a probable VV Cephei-type star [11] with a composite spectrum similar to that of V381 Cephei (HR 8164), but with weaker emission lines of Fe II, S II, and Ni II [4] (the "II" indicates that the elements are in their singly ionized state in spectroscopic notation [12]).
