MACS J0647.7+7015 LS1 and LS2

According to this article, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.13334

MACS J0647.7+7015 LS1 may be 5-32 million L with a temperature of 10,000 kelvin, using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law this results in a size of 746.5-1,888.6 R and MACS J0647.7+7015 LS2 which may be 10-40 million L with a temperature of 12,000 kelvin, using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law this results in a size of 733.1-1,466.3 R. Should we add this or ignore this? Orangefanta120 (talk) 19:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Could be affected by microlensing of surrounding stars, making them appear far more luminous as stated in page 7. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 19:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I also saw an estimate of 316,000-1,000,000 L in this paper, I'm assuming this is more reliable. Orangefanta120 (talk) 19:22, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Smaller radius for AH Scorpii

According to Healey et al. 2023 (the same source that provided the 909 R measure for UY Scuti), AH Scorpii is calculated to have a radius of 959 R. I believe this is reliable and seems to be a more suitable measure for its spectral class than the 1411 R measure provided. Should I include that radius on the main page?

If I remember properly, that table uses Gaia distances which are often unreliable in the case of red supergiants. 1411 R used a distance that was derived using masers which is much more accurate. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 17:50, 23 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
This smaller radius uses a distance that is potentially unreliable as mentioned above, while the large radius uses a nearly perfect distance. 21 Andromedae (talk) 17:04, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

LGGS J013339.28+303118.8

According to Gaia DR3, LGGS J013339.28+303118.8 is actually a blend of up to 3 stars meaning that (to my knowledge) 1566 R☉ is probably innacurate. Should it be removed now? Infa 65 (talk) 00:44, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Something else I forgot to mention, a NGC 1313-310 has a similar thing with Gaia DR3 data suggesting it is a blend of 2 stars. Infa 65 (talk) 00:52, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
If you are sure that this is the case, feel free to remove. 21 Andromedae (talk) 21:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

V Cygni

According to this article https://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0601366, V Cygni has a temperature of 1,880 K and a luminosity of 25,586 L, using the Stefan-Boltzmann law it would have a size of 1,507.78058 R, should we include this star as the largest star in the Milky Way or not?

@Orangefanta120 That temperature seems strangely low, although it may be possible since it's a carbon star but I don't really know much about them. It would be interesting to have the largest known star not being an RSG though.... Infa 65 (talk) 12:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Another star in the same study, V688 Monocerotis was estimated to have a temperature of 1,670 K. Orangefanta120 (talk) 16:13, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
See this. 21 Andromedae (talk) 21:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
That source contains multiple outdated luminosities and temperatures for stars. The table of largest stars by angular diameter contains this star, and the angular diameter and distance estimates give a radius of ~750 to 850 R. 21 Andromedae (talk) 21:36, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Just noticed it was in the list at 770 R. Orangefanta120 (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

The List of largest stars row template has to exit

Surely, it was useful before, but it is now introducing some issues, for example i tried to round some radii of stars using the template, in Visual Editor, but it had some bugs when i edited the template directly, so i would suggest removing the template from this list, but not deleting it given it would broke the edit history. It only has disvantages compared to simply using {{solar radius calculator}} in a normal table, which is a lot more versatile. Also, i also intended to add additional columns such as spectral class, which can't be done due to the template limitation. 21 Andromedae (talk) 01:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

I would rather fix problems in the template rather than scrap it simply because you encountered difficulty. However, you have been incredibly vague, and thus I cannot assist. I would also note you haven't even edited this page in almost two weeks. Primefac (talk) 14:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
