Best F Type

Polaris is a bright star located in the constellation Ursa Minor. It’s notable as the current North Star due to its position near the celestial pole and its classification as a Cepheid variable. This means it pulsates with varying brightness, making it valuable for astronomers studying stellar dista...

Canopus is a massive, white-yellow supergiant star located in the Carina constellation. It’s notable for being the second brightest celestial object visible from Earth. Historically, navigators utilized Canopus as a key navigational reference point, particularly for spacecraft due to its consistent...

Procyon is the brightest star in Canis Minor and eighth brightest in the night sky, a binary system with a white dwarf companion about 11.5 light-years away.

A metal-poor subgiant ~190 light-years away in Libra with an estimated age near 13.7 billion years, making it one of the oldest stars identified in the Milky Way.

A quadruple star system ~27 light-years away in Ursa Major, historically significant as the first visual binary to have its orbit computed, by Félix Savary in 1828.

W Virginis is the prototype of W Virginis variables (Type II Cepheids), population II pulsating stars that are older and less luminous than classical Cepheids.

FU Orionis is the prototype of FU Orionis outbursts, young pre-main-sequence stars that undergo dramatic accretion-driven brightenings first recorded for this star in 1936.

Rho Cassiopeiae is a yellow hypergiant in Cassiopeia, one of the most luminous stars in the galaxy, notable for a documented mass-ejection eruption that occurred around the year 2000.

A supergiant eclipsing binary in Auriga that undergoes a two-year-long eclipse every 27 years, with the eclipsing body identified as a large opaque disk.

A yellow dwarf star ~870 light-years away hosting WASP-12b, a hot Jupiter being tidally disrupted and slowly consumed by its host star, with an orbital period of just 1.09 days.

Alpha Persei and brightest star in Perseus, a yellow-white supergiant roughly 590 light-years away and the gravitational core of the Alpha Persei star cluster.

Gamma Virginis, a binary system in Virgo comprising two nearly identical yellow-white stars about 38 light-years away, long studied for its orbital period of roughly 169 years.

Delta Canis Majoris, a yellow-white supergiant roughly 1,600 light-years away and among the most intrinsically luminous stars visible to the naked eye.

Gamma Doradus is the prototype of Gamma Doradus variables, F-type stars that pulsate in high-order gravity modes near the main sequence.

Tau Boötis is a yellow-white main-sequence star about 51 light-years from Earth harboring a hot Jupiter exoplanet (Tau Boötis b) discovered in 1996 by Butler and Marcy.

Beta Cassiopeiae, one of the five stars forming Cassiopeia's distinctive W-shape, a yellow-white pulsating giant about 54 light-years away historically used to define sidereal time.

HD 114762 is a solar-type star about 132 light-years from Earth whose substellar companion, announced in 1989 by Latham et al., was one of the earliest candidate brown dwarfs or massive exoplanets.

Delta Velorum, the brightest star in the southern False Cross asterism in Vela, a binary system whose IAU proper name Alsephina was formally approved in 2016.

Beta Virginis, an F8 main sequence star ~35.6 light-years away in Virgo, historically used as an astrometric reference point in studies of the Sun's peculiar motion.

Iota Horologii is a young Sun-like star about 57 light-years from Earth with a confirmed hot Jupiter exoplanet discovered in 1999 and an estimated age of roughly 600 million years.

Rho Puppis, a Delta Scuti pulsating variable star in Puppis roughly 120 light-years away, whose IAU-approved proper name Tureis was formally ratified in 2016.

107 Piscium, a K1 main sequence star ~24 light-years away in Pisces, catalogued as a quiet, stable solar-neighborhood dwarf considered suitable for planet searches.

ι Virginis (Syrma) is a white A-type main-sequence star in Virgo, located about 69 light-years from Earth, formally named by the IAU in 2016.

α Corvi (Alchiba), despite its alpha designation, is the faintest of the five main stars in Corvus, an F-type main-sequence star approximately 48 light-years from Earth.

142 Polana is a dark F-type asteroid discovered by Johann Palisa in 1875, serving as the largest member and namesake of the Polana dynamical family in the main asteroid belt.
