Applications of Narrow-Band Photometry in the Study of Peculiar Red Giants
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Narrow-band photometry, carried out with filters or spectrum scanners, is useful for measuring molecular bandstrengths and continuum energy distributions in late-type stars. This review emphasizes observations by the writer on three different multicolor photometric systems in the near infrared (0.75 − 4.0 μm); a summary of available data is given. While applications to date have been primarily qualitative (classification, recognition of peculiarities, relative temperatures), future applications are expected to be quantitative (determinations of effective temperatures, luminosities, and abundances) and based upon comparison with synthetic spectra.
