Scientific paper

We present the current status of the survey to measure accurate diameters of nearby, main-sequence stars with the CHARA Array, a long baseline optical/infrared interferometer. This project is the source of the largest homogeneous data set that provides direct measurements of the stellar linear radius and effective temperature for stars of this type. We discuss the challenges these data bring to current stellar atmospheric and evolutionary models, as well as the development of empirically based relations and calibrations to the stellar effective temperature scale.
