Sorry I didn't mean to be a bludgeoner. I mean that A1 is a hotter and more massive star than a F, G, K or M Star. The Sun is a G star and Rigel is a B star so this A1 star wouldn't be as strong as Rigel. But it would be more massive than the sun. The hottest star out there would be an O star.
The order from Hottest to Coolest is O, B, A, F, G K M

The C Stars would be stars with a surplus of Carbon I believe.
