The 'n' notation in the suffix indicates that the absorption lines in the star's spectrum appear spread out and nebulous because of the Doppler effect from rapid rotation.
The lines were originally observed as dark features (absorption lines) in the optical spectrum of the Sun.
Another way to measure the temperature is by relating the FWHM of the probed absorption line to the Doppler line width of the species at that temperature.
