The programs that I have been creating for almost a month use the spectra of the Sun and Vega from this source:
https://www.stsci.edu/hst/instrumentation/referen ... /astronomical-catalogs/calspec

They were too high accuracy, so I reduced it to 5-nanometer steps, to the accuracy of the Stiles & Burch 1959 10 Degree RGB CMFs standard human perception curves that I use. The spectra of the Sun and Vega can be plotted by the program, the result:

Hopefully, by analyzing the spectrum, you can verify the accuracy of the statements of other forum members.

Here's a brighter version of my star textures...

...and a set of lens flares to go with them. You'll have to add these manually to every star you want them on; I've included some examples. You could also hack the model to add colors I didn't think of, or display a completely different sprite instead.

Actually flares in Celestia could easily be changed in the pre-1.5.0 versions. That is why here are flare addons on the Motherlode

I remember an easy equation to convert temperature in kelvin to waveleght in nanometers to find the color

log((2897000/2)/KELVIN)*101.00945

but i dont remember the way to convert green to white https://www.livescience.com/34469-purple-stars-green-stars-star-colors.html

These textures are for Celestia on a computer, not a mobile device like a phone.

You don't need to repeat the question again.
