A hot plate heating on a stove is a good thermal source. If you like, you may use the stellar temperature simulation you used earlier to see what the thermal radiation curves for these thermal sources look like. The thermal radiation curves are shown below. The blue curve is for the 6000 K thermal source the red curve is for 5000 K thermal source. If you looked at the two thermal sources with the SDSS's spectrograph, you would see these two curves.
