Once the mass is found, it can be determined if the candidate is a neutron star or a black hole, ... HDE 226868 might be undermassive for its spectral type, which would make Cyg X-1 less massive than previously calculated. In addition, uncertainties in the distance to the binary system would also influence mass calculations.

Note for Binary Star; A binary star is a stellar system consisting of two stars orbiting around their center of mass. For each star, the other is its companion star. ... From the orbital pattern of a visual binary, or the time variation of the spectrum of a spectroscopic binary, the mass of its stars can be determined.

As already mentioned, binary stars are of vital importance as they allow us to determine stellar masses. To date (August 2004) only one single star other than our Sun has had its mass accurately determined by a means unrelated to Kepler's laws. ... Orbital plot of L-type binary system...

® To determine true physical properties of stars we need to know stellar distances - the apparent brightness of a star is not a good distance estimator. ... Despite the large baseline, parallaxes to stars are very small, much smaller than expected by sceptics of the heliocentric system (e. g. Tycho. ... solar type stars:

The orbit of a detached binary system is very simple. ... In fact, eclipsing spectroscopic binary systems provide some of the most-accurate values for stellar masses. On the other hand, while many of these systems are detached stars, the stars are close together, often only several stellar radii from each other;

The early-type and late-type stars each cover approximately a factor of 3.3 in mass range in this example, ... If the cluster distance, reddening, and metallicity are well known, and if the metallicity is near solar, then the mass-luminosity relation can be used to give stellar masses, from which stellar radii can be determined.
