===Class F===<!-- This section is linked from [[V838 Monocerotis]] --> {{See also|F-type main-sequence star}} [[File:F5V star spectrum.png|thumb|Spectrum of a hypothetical F5V star]] F-type stars have strengthening spectral lines ''H'' and ''K'' of [[calcium|Ca]] II. Neutral metals ([[iron|Fe]] I, [[chromium|Cr]] I) beginning to gain on ionized metal lines by late F. Their spectra are characterized by the weaker hydrogen lines and ionized metals. Their color is white. About 1 in 33 (3.03%) of the main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood are F-type stars,<ref group="lower-alpha" name="proportions" /><ref name="LeDrew2001" /> including 1 star [[Procyon A]] within 20 ly.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://solstation.com/stars/s20ly.htm | title=Stars within 20 light-years }}</ref> '''Example spectral standards:'''<ref name="Garrison"/><ref name="MK73">{{cite journal | last1=Morgan | first1=W.
