The temperature and radius of the white dwarf Stein 2051B

The temperature, radius, and other atmospheric parameters are derived for the cool DC white dwarf Stein 2051B (=G175-34B=EG 180), whose mass was recently determined by Strand. New spectrophotometric scans of this star and its dwarf M companion are discussed; these and existing Stroemgren photometry are fitted to model atmospheres with hydrogen/metal deficient compositions, and a temperature of 7050 +- 400 K is determined. The resulting radius of 0.0111 +- 0.0015 R/sub sun/ is marginally smaller than that of 40 Eri B. (AIP)
