Talk:Calibrator star

Articles is inconsistent and reads strangely

[edit]

"...stars do not usually follow a specific criteria, ..." "The stars chosen generally meet the following criteria..."

"The stars are strictly southern objects (i.e., their declinations are negative)..." and ending the article with, effectively, 'there are catalogues... go find them if you want, I guess' - seems a bit off

Especially when the cited paper ends with the summary: "Of the ~3000 stars in the northern hemisphere brighter than V < 6 and with declinations [-15deg < dec < 82deg] we have compiled a list of 1510 stars well suited as interferometric calibrators"

This is a really interesting topic, it's got me interested to keep checking out more papers -- hopefully we can get it looking a bit cleaner! 114.74.160.134 (talk) 13:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
