Observed Relations Between Physical Properties and MK Classification as Functions of Metal Abundance for F5-K4 Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The Geneva photometric system has been calibrated in terms of [M/H], θeff, Mv in the spectral range F5 to K4. As the spectral type is a datum generally available, we derive empirical relations showing the coupling of θeff and [M/H] at given spectral type and luminosity class. Similar relations are offered for the absolute magnitudes and provide a more accurate means for deriving spectroscopic parallaxes. Systematic effects on the estimation of the luminosity class are also shown.
