Article Development

My 4th year project involves choosing a stub article on Wikipedia and expanding it. This will take place over the next three weeks as I gradually add more to the article. If you have any suggestions or spot any mistakes feel free to let me know.

Originally I started developing the article "Dynamical Parallax". I have decided to take my work done on that article and transfer it to this one, as I feel this title to be more appropriate to the research I have done so far.

Hi PWS91, I was looking through the article and it's shaping up nicely, well done. One suggestion: could you change the exponent in the mass luminosity relation to something else other than a? Maybe alpha? It could be confused with other things like the semi-major axis, especially since you use it in other parts of the article to mean semi-major axis.

Optical double

Is the term "optical double" different from "visual binary" in professional use? I would like to see this explained in the article. I know there are also some doubles that are called "probable binaries". -- Kheider (talk) 23:09, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
