An F-type main-sequence star is a main-sequence, core-hydrogen-fusing star of spectral type F. The spectral luminosity class is V. They have from around 1.1 to 1.6 times the mass of the Sun and surface temperatures between about 6,000 and 7,200 K. F-type stars appear white from space due to having a higher temperature than the Sun. Notable examples of F-type stars include Procyon A, Gamma Virginis A and B, and Tabby's Star.
