Abstract
An empirical analysis of the masses of odd-mass nuclei is made, putting emphasis on the gross structure of the nuclear mass surface, especially on the β-stability line. As a consequence of the analysis, three macroscopic (liquid-drop) mass formulas are derived. It is pointed out that large volume and surface symmetry-energies are necessary for the reproduction of the experimental β-stability line.Keywords
