about the board game Star the mathematical game from combinatorial game theory Star game Star is a complex abstract strategy game by Ea Ea , a designer of Y game Y . It is a redevelopment of his earlier game Star board game Star . Image star6.png thumb 200px right A small Star board. Image star8.png thumb 200px right A medium size Star board. Image star10.png thumb 200px right The full Star board. Rules Star can be played on graphs of different sizes. The three shown boards have 105, 180, and 275 nodes of which 30, 40, and 50 are on the perimeter. Note that the edges between the five centermost nodes cross each other. Two players alternately place stones of their colour on empty nodes. The game ends when the board is filled up or when both players agree that the score is decided . Each node on the perimeter of the board counts as one peri . Connected groups of one color that contain fewer than two peries are removed, with the possible peri going to the surrounding group. Each remaining group is worth the number of peries it contains minus four. The player with more points wins. Draws are decided in favour of the player owning more corners. For example, a group containing exactly two peries is worth 2 4 2 points. This is the same as the two peries being given to the opponent. That is, creating a group with just two peries is worthless unless it disconnects opponent groups or contains a corner. Comparison to Other Games Star is closely related to games of Hex board game Hex and Y game Y where the goal is to connect certain sides of the board to each other. On the other hand, Star is closely related to Go board game Go in which the goal is to gather more territory than the opponent. Often survival of a group in Go is achieved by connecting it to another one. In Go, all the surrounded ... the perimeter.

Image Achernar.jpg thumb The Be star Achernar , flattened by extremely rapid rotation A Be star is a Stellar classification B type star with prominent emission line s of hydrogen in its spectrum. The designation is combined by the spectral class, B , and the lowercase e denoting emission in the spectral classification system. Line emission from other atomic ion s might be present as well, but is typically much weaker. Other observational characteristics include optical linear polarization and often infrared radiation that is much stronger than in ordinary B class stars, called infrared excess . As the Be nature is transient, Be stars might exhibit a normal B type spectrum at times, and hitherto normal B stars may become Be stars. While most Be stars are on the main sequence, the identifier actually refers to a heterogeneous group of objects including young stellar object pre main sequence stars , supergiant stars , protoplanetary nebulae , and others. ref cite journal bibcode 1998A&A...340..117L last1 Lamers first1 Henny J.
