- Context. The main sequence binary star 61 Cyg ( K5V+ K7V) is our nearest stellar neighbour in the northern hemisphere. This proximity makes it a particularly well suited system for very high accuracy interferometric radius measurements. Aims. Our goal is to constrain the poorly known evolutionary status and age of this bright binary star. Methods. We obtained high accuracy interferometric observations in the infrared K' band, using the CHARA/ FLUOR instrument. We then computed evolutionary models of 61 Cyg A & B with the CESAM2k code. As model constraints, we used a combination of observational parameters from classical observation methods (photometry, spectroscopy) as well as our new interferometric radii. Results. The measured limb darkened disk angular diameters are.LD( A) = 1.775 +/- 0.013 mas and.LD( B) = 1.581 +/- 0.022 mas, respectively for 61 Cyg A and B. Considering the high accuracy parallaxes available, these values translate into photospheric radii of R(A) = 0.665 +/- 0.005 R-circle dot and R(B) = 0.595 +/- 0.008 R-circle dot. The new radii constrain e. ciently the physical parameters adopted for the modeling of both stars, allowing us to predict asteroseismic frequencies based on our best- fit models. Conclusions. The CESAM2k evolutionary models indicate an age around 6 Gyr and are compatible with small values of the mixing length parameter. The measurement of asteroseismic oscillation frequencies in 61 Cyg A & B would be of great value to improve the modeling of this important fiducial stellar system, in particular to better constrain the masses.

- This work investigates for the first time how mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), NMR-based cryoporometry, and DSC-based thermoporosimetry compare in revealing the porous characteristics of ground calcium carbonate structures compacted over a range of pressures. The comparison is made using the same source samples throughout. MIP, a much-used method in the characterization of porous structures, has the drawback that the high pressure needed to intrude the mercury may either distort the skeletal porous structure of the sample, especially when compressible materials such as cellulose or binders/latex are present, or lead to a reduction in the measured number of large pores due to the shielding by smaller pores. These effects have previously been addressed using bulk modulus corrections and by modeling the structure permeability to account for the potential shielding. Cryoporometry gives detailed information about the pore size distribution of an imbibition saturated structure. Thermoporosimetry is a relatively new candidate in this field, and it yields both pore size distribution and pore volume. Currently it is somewhat limited in the pore size range detectable, but it is relevant to pigmented coatings. Its potential is identified for capturing the pores involved in the progress of imbibition before saturation is reached.
