Abstract (from CDS):

Using the longest baselines of the CHARA Array, we have measured the angular diameter of the G5 V subdwarf µ Cas A, the first such determination for a halo population star. We compare this result to new diameters for the higher metallicity K0 V stars, σ Dra and HR 511, and find that the metal-poor star, µ Cas A, has an effective temperature (Teff=5297±32 K), radius (R=0.791±0.008 R☉), and absolute luminosity (L=0.442±0.014 L☉) comparable to those of the other two stars with later spectral types. We show that stellar models show a discrepancy in the predicted temperature and radius for µ Cas A, and we discuss these results and how they provide a key to understanding the fundamental relationships for stars with low metallicity.
