Description

By means of new homogeneous set of data from 34 double-lined detached systems, the colour-surface brightness correlation has been recalibrated in the interval -0.3<=(B-V)0<=0.95. A comparison is made with Wesselinks's calibration. It is found that Wesselink's method can provide a good estimate of the stellar radii. (Auth.)
