Description

The mass-luminosity relationship for solar-type stars has been reinvestigated using data from the new edition of the Yale Parallax Catalogue and recently published orbits and mass ratios for the relevant visual double stars. The results of this investigation confirm that to within the errors of the data, the sun lies essentially on the mean relationship for the nearby stars. If there is to be further progress in the definition of the mass-luminosity relationship, then the accuracy of the trigonometric parallaxes must be improved substantially
