User:Nussun05/List of largest known stars
Appearance
Lists
[edit]These lists adopt the Rosseland radius, the radius where the optical depth .
Because of large error bars, many stars have the possibility of being the largest. Any star with an upper bound larger than the largest lower bound could be the largest known star.

- AD: radius calculated from angular diameter and distance
- L/Teff: radius calculated from bolometric luminosity and effective temperature
- ^ During an outburst.
