Abstract
Observing a stellar radius basically means observing a center-to-limb intensity variation. The significance and properties of center-to-limb variations, common approximations, the correlation with optical-depth radii in extended-photophere stars, and direct measurements of angular (interferometry, lunar occultation) and absolute diameters (binary eclipses) are discussed. Spectrophotometric and doppler techniques of diameter determination are also briefly outlined.
