M. Simon, g.H. Schaefer

TL;DR
This study measures the angular diameters and derives stellar parameters of two young F-type stars in the Beta Pic Moving Group, providing insights into their ages, radii, and rotation effects.
Contribution
First direct measurement of angular diameters of two pre-main sequence F stars in the Beta Pic group using the CHARA Array.
Findings
Measured stellar radii of 2.1 and 1.6 solar radii.
Estimated stellar ages of approximately 13 million years.
Identified gravitational darkening as a factor in age discrepancy.
Abstract
We report angular diameters of HIP 560 and 21547, two F spectral type pre-main sequence members of the beta Pic Moving Group. We used the East-West 314-m long baseline of the CHARA Array. The measured limb-darkened angular diameters of HIP 560 and 21547 are 0.492+-0.032 and 0.518+-0.009 mas, respectively. The corresponding stellar radii are 2.1 and 1.6 Rsun for HIP 560 and HIP 21547 respectively. These values indicate that the stars are truly young. Analyses using the evolutionary tracks calculated by Siess, Dufour, and Forestini and the tracks of the Yonsei-Yale group yield consistent results. Analyzing the measurements on an angular diameter vs color diagram we find that the ages of the two stars are indistinguishable; their average value is 13+-2 MY. The masses of HIP 560 and 21547 are 1.65+-0.02 and 1.75+-0.05 Msun, respectively. However, analysis of the stellar parameters on a…
