Mass-radius diagram, on logarithmic axes, showing the positions of the ten very-low-mass stars (red, square), binary stars from the literature (black, circular) and comparable literature objects selected to expand the sample (blue, diamonds). The literature objects are detailed in Table 3 and Chen et al. (2014). Several sub-stellar objects are also shown. The Exeter/Lyon (Baraffe et al. 2015, 2003, 1998) 1 Gy (red) and 5 Gy (blue) isochrones are shown, for solar metallicity [Fe/H] = 0 dex (solid line), and sub-solar metallicity, [Fe/H] = −0.5 dex (dashed line). Iso-surface gravity lines are shown for log g2 = 4.5 dex to log g2 = 5.5 dex (cgs). Objects are constrained to their surface-gravity line by the log g2 measurement, derived from the transits and radial velocities without invoking the primary mass.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
