Hi

Sirius B, a white dwarf, has a surface temperature of around 25,000

degrees
C. Sirius A, a blue/white main sequence star has a surface temperature

of
around 12,000 degrees C. Usually the bluer a star is, the hotter it

is. Just
wondered why it's not the case here.


Why do you say Sirius B is less blue than Sirius A?
