(Top): (M_K, mass) relation: solid points are eclipsing binaries; open triangles are from Henry & McCarthy (1993). The solid line is the empirical relation from the latter paper, while the dotted lines are theoretical relations from Baraffe et al. (1998) for ages of 0.1, 1 and 10 Gyr. (Bottom): The distribution of the 8 pc stars in the (r³, M_K) plane. Solid points mark the brightest stars in individual systems.
