As an example of my own math stupidity, I now post a correction to my own post. Even after all that figuring, I still got it wrong. I was halving BOTH masses instead of just one of them.

Anyway, the real value is that one star twice the size of the sun at 4 light years is actually equal to one star the size of the sun at about 2.8 light years. I think. Dammit, I hate math. If somebody can do this right, jump in.
