Fracassini, et al. (1983) suggested a preliminary list of stars suitable for use as standards for methods of determination of stellar apparent diameters and absolute radii. According to their criteria, only stars with at least three methods of determination were considered; moreover, only if the percentage error of the data was <10% were they considered as “standards”. This simple statement is not completely satisfactory, because of some ambiguous cases. For instance, the interferometric method (code 1), Wesselink's method (6H) and Barnes and Evans' (6G) method are not independent.
