yep.

I certainly think its inside, if you count the center of mass. It may 
be from the surface of the star, still awfully close....its inside 
Venus' orbit for sure if its Center of Mass.

Its in the back of More than Honor. I think basing on spectral class 
and not mass of the star is a bit of a problem. I think Spectral 
class is partly related to mass, but all stars go through a red giant 
phase when they've burned down the H and HE content.
