The Vilnius photometric system, consisting of seven passbands at 345, 374, 405, 466, 516, 544 and 656 nm makes it possible to determine spectral classes (or temperatures), absolute magnitudes (or surface gravities), metallicities and peculiarity types for stars of all spectral types in the presence of interstellar reddening (Straizys 1977, 1992a, b). This makes the system very useful for the determination of the physical parameters of stars which are too faint to be studied by spectroscopic methods. The system is especially effective when used with CCD detectors which combine a wide field, high sensitivity and high photometric accuracy.
