 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article has not be expanded fivefold in the last ten days, and falls short of the 1,500 character DYK minimum. You need some more words.  Hawkeye7   (talk)  22:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, fully referenced. Help me out here. I'm seeing 0.128 ± 0.13 M⊙ for the mass, and log (R/R⊙)of 2.489 ± 0.043 which makes R/R⊙ = 12 not 308.  Hawkeye7   (talk)  00:16, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * You lost me. log (R/R⊙)of 2.489 expands to (=102.489). A pulsation range is also shown from an older reference. Log(M/) yields  (=100.128) which is what is in the starbox. Is the mass log throwing you off? It isn't common, but the paper makes it clear it is a log, and  is about what it should be. Or are you doing natural logarithms?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yeah, I am used to always using natural logarithms. Good to go.  Hawkeye7   (talk)  23:34, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
