Interferometry

With the measurement of θ we can calculateTeff:

and the stellar radius R if we know the distance D:

R= (θ/2)*D

Distance – parallax ‐ Parsec

1 Parsec = 1 AU/1” = 206265 AU = 4.4e7 Rʘ = 3.09e16 m

D = 1/π , π = parallax in arcseconds

Distance – parallax ‐ Parsec

1 Parsec = 1 AU/1” = 206265 AU = 4.4e7 Rʘ = 3.09e16 mD(Parsec) = 1/π , π = parallax in arcseconds

Calibrations

• Colour‐Teff (e.g. Casagade et al. 2010)

Calibrations

• Colour‐Diameter (e.g. Di Benedetto 2005)

Θ = 100.2[Sv‐V0] , SV = 2.565 + 1.483(V‐K)0 ‐ 0.044(V‐K)02

Calibrations

• Bolometric Correctionand Colour‐Teff(e.g. Casagrande & VandenBerg 2014!)
