S Coronae Borealis edit
- ... that the star S Coronae Borealis has been estimated as having around 1.34 times the Sun's mass but 308 times its radius?

Article has not be expanded fivefold in the last ten days, and falls short of the 1,500 character DYK minimum. You need some more words. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

New enough, long enough, fully referenced. Help me out here. I'm seeing 0.128 ± 0.13 M⊙ for the mass, and log (R/R⊙)of 2.489 ± 0.043 which makes R/R⊙ = 12 not 308. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:16, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
- You lost me. log (R/R⊙)of 2.489 expands to 308 R☉ (=102.489). A pulsation range is also shown from an older reference. Log(M/M☉) yields 1.34 M☉ (=100.128) which is what is in the starbox. Is the mass log throwing you off? It isn't common, but the paper makes it clear it is a log, and 1.34 M☉ is about what it should be. Or are you doing natural logarithms?
