Subgiant
Type of star larger than main-sequence but smaller than a giant / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the type of star. For the dance group, see Subgiant (band).
A subgiant is a star that is brighter than a normal main-sequence star of the same spectral class, but not as bright as giant stars. The term subgiant is applied both to a particular spectral luminosity class and to a stage in the evolution of a star.
