Stellar Husbandry
A type of stellar engineering which involves controlling the evolution and properties of stars, especially to stabilize them, prolong their lifetimes, manipulate the stellar wind, lift off useful material or create new stars. Typical methods include star lifting or mixing the stellar core with envelope material to make hydrogen burning last longer.

The "brightness" of a star, expressed on a logarithmic scale, so that brighter stars have smaller magnitude values. Thus a first magnitude star is very bright, a sixth magnitude star is at the limit of normal baseline hu vision. See also Apparent Magnitude, Absolute Magnitude. - Stellification Engine
