Talk:La Superba

Classification

Y CVn (La Superbathis) is too faint to call a red supergiant. The luminosity of Y CVn is 4,400 times solar. Meanwhile that of Mira is 8,400 times solar. Y CVn is less luminous than Mira. Mira is a M7III type normal red giant. Therefore , Y CVn should be a normal red giant.

The classification "I" in the spectral type "C7I" of Y CVn means "Most luminous class of carbon stars". But this class is too faint to call red supergaint's class.
