The Absolute Magnitudes of the Nearby Stars: Calibrations of mean luminosity relations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
The nearby stars are most favored for determining precise absolute magnitudes and for calibrating spectral-type, luminosity relations and color, luminosity relations. To demonstrate the main problems we discuss the (Mv,B-V) relation since (B-V) data are available for most of our candidates. At Yale Observatory van Altena is compiling a new catalog of trigonometric parallaxes. We feel deeply indebted to van Altena for making available to us a preliminary version of this catalog.
