WZ Ophiuchi and Other Solar-Type Stars. Popper, Daniel M. Abstract The investigation of eclipsing binaries for which the most reliable masses and radii can be obtained is continued with analysis of the systems WZ Oph, F8, VZ Hya, F5, and UV Leo, G2. New spectrographic orbits have been determined for all three systems, and a photoelectric light-curve has been obtained for WZ Oph. The use of increased spectrographic dispersion leads to systematically smaller masses for WZ Oph (23 per cent smaller) and UV Leo (27 per cent smaller) than previously published. The properties of the components are listed in Table 11 All the stars have appreciable ultraviolet excesses (relative to the Hyades), 0 ).08 , and all lie close to the "Sun-Sirius" relation in the mass4uminosity plane, in agreement with a result by Eggen that this relation is populated only by stars with ultraviolet excesses. A brief discussion is given of some problems of analysis resulting from the exceptionally high precision required in the linear dimensions of the orbits of visual as well as eclipsing binaries if significant conclusions are to be reached on the "fine structure" of the mass-luminosity diagram.
