Abstract

Diameters for 13 stars are reported. Two of these involve simultaneous observations at two telescopes, and repeat measurements are presented for three additional stars. A highly reliable diameter of the carbon star SZ Sgr is reported, and included in an analysis of the relationship between the effective and color temperatures for carbon stars. Formal error estimates for the diameters from least-squares solutions are discussed based on accumulated multiple measurements for 24 stars.
