Abstract
The HIPPARCOS mission will permit a decisive step forward in the comparison between observed and predicted global properties of stars, in producing distances and apparent magitudes with accuracies more than one order of magnitude higher than before. Nearby stars of intermediate and low mass will allow for statistical tests on the validity of the equation of state, like for instance the steepness of the main sequence.
