AX Microscopium?

[edit]

Shouldn't that be "AX Microscopii" (using the genitive plural of the constellation's name)?

Infobox Luminosity is wrong

[edit]

According to luminosity

When not qualified, luminosity means bolometric luminosity

but the value 0.028 is obviously derived from the absolute visual magnitude, and is therefore not bolometric. Qemist (talk) 12:05, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Largest and Brightest Red Dwarf known?!

[edit]

Since HIP 12961 has a mass of 0.63 solar masses, a radius 0.68 ± 0.03 of the Sun, an absolute magnitude of +7.8 and is of spectral type M0, then it's obviously a more powerful star than Lacaille 8760. CrackDragon (talk) 09:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
