There are two statements in this article which are ambiguous.

First: "This star's mass is on the border that explodes as a supernova or not." To which of the four components of the star system does the phrase "This star's mass" refer?

Second: "Ras Algethi has a diameter approximately 460 times greater than..." Is the diameter cited the seperation between the binary systems, or is it the diameter of one of the four stellar components?
