Scientific paper

Measurements of the position angle and separation with time of visual double stars allow the apparent orbit of the two stars to be calculated and hence the total mass of the two stars derived (figures 1 and 2). It is still one of the best ways of calculating stellar masses but the long period of many visual binary systems (typically a few hundred years) means that the number of reliable orbits is ...
