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
