30 Ari A

An unsourced sentence in the text describes both as F-type main-sequence stars based on luminosity, yet SIMBAD lists the A component as a giant. Further, the luminosity listed for the A component in the Details section of the starbox (1.991 solar) is consistent with neither the absolute magnitude (abs mag of 3.46 suggests a luminosity well in excess of 3 solar) nor the difference in magnitude between the two stars (7.09 - 6.48 = 0.61, which indicates 30 Ari A should be at least 75% brighter than 30 Ari B, rather than nearly the same). Given these discrepancies, I've updated the starbox with the data from SIMBAD and altered the luminosity of the A component. Pfhreak (talk) 15:38, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
