M dwarfs: effective temperatures, radii and metallicities
We empirically determine effective temperatures and bolometric luminosities for a large sample of nearby M dwarfs, for which high accuracy optical and infrared photometry is available. We introduce a new technique which exploits the flux ratio in different bands as a proxy of both effective temperature and metallicity. Our temperature scale for late type dwarfs extends well below 3000K (almost ...
متن کاملRadii and Effective Temperatures for K and M Giants and Supergiants. Ii
We present new interferometric observations for 74 luminous red stars, made in the near-infrared. We show that our 2.2 km uniform-disk diameters agree with other near-infrared diameter determinations (lunar occultations and interferometers) for 22 stars measured in common with ours. From our new data, we derive e†ective temperatures that are compared with our previous work and with comparable o...
متن کاملRadii and Effective Temperatures for G, K, and M Giants and Supergiants
Interferometrically determined angular diameters obtained at the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) for 69 giant and supergiant stars are presented. Spectral types of the 59 giant stars generally lie between G6 and M6, although a B7 giant is included ; the nine bright giants and supergiants have spectral types between F5 and M5. Comparison of the results to those from the IR Optical Telescope...
متن کاملMetallicities of Nearby K- Dwarfs
One of the main issues in the chemical evolution of galaxies is the so called " G-dwarf problem " (Pagel and Patchett, 1975) in which the observed stellar metal distribution differs from the predicted in the sense that there are too many metal deficient stars. The same problem was now been seen among K-dwarfs, indicating the problem is a general one (Flynn and Morell, 1997). We have used the Hi...
متن کاملFundamental parameters of nearby stars from the comparison with evolutionary calculations: masses, radii and effective temperatures
The Hipparcos mission has made it possible to constrain the positions of nearby field stars in the colour-magnitude diagram with very high accuracy. These positions can be compared with the predictions of stellar evolutionary calculations to provide information on the basic parameters of the stars: masses, radii, effective temperatures, ages, and chemical composition. The degeneracy between mas...
