Colour Of Sirius-Stellar Evolution-Ancient Chinese Texts

Scientific paper

At present, Sirius is white, but in the West there has long existed a succession of records purporting that the star is red, which would mean difficulty for the current theory of stellar evolution. In this paper I have systematically examined the more reliable records regarding the colour of Sirius in extant ancient Chinese texts from B. C. times to the + 7th century and found that, during this period, Sirius was unquestionably white, thus relieving the present theory of stellar evolution of any threat from this direction.
