RadiusBasistype

How well a radius is known: defined is the IAU's nominal value for the Sun, angle is a measured angular diameter times a measured distance, weak-distance is a measured angular diameter times a distance that is not a parallax (so the size could be much off), and luminosity is worked out from the star's brightness, temperature and distance because no angular diameter has been measured.

Import it

import type { RadiusBasis } from "@johnmorrisdotca/wakusei-planets";

Definition

type RadiusBasis = "defined" | "angle" | "weak-distance" | "luminosity";

Examples

import { LINEUP_STARS, type RadiusBasis } from "@johnmorrisdotca/wakusei-planets";

const basis: RadiusBasis = LINEUP_STARS[0]!.basis;
console.log(basis);
