Description

How do we measure the masses and radii of stars? This lecture
describes the three basic types of binary stars, and how each are
used to measure the masses of stars. Details of how to measure
stellar radii are beyond the scope of this class, but we briefly
describe the direct measurements of stellar radii.
Recorded 2006 January 12 in 1008 Evans Laboratory on the Columbus campus
of The Ohio State University.
