Towards the absolute planes: a new calibration of the Bolometric Corrections and Temperature scales
نویسنده
چکیده
We present new determinations of bolometric corrections and effective temperature scales as a function of infrared and optical colors, using a large database of photometric observations of about 6500 Population II giants in Galactic Globular Clusters (GGCs), covering a wide range in metallicity (–2.0<[Fe/H]<0.0). New relations for BCK vs (V–K), (J–K) and BCV vs (B–V), (V–I), (V–J), and new calibrations for Teff , using both an empirical relation and model atmospheres, are provided. Moreover, an empirical relation to derive the R parameter of the Infrared Flux Method as a function of the stellar temperature is also presented.

Effective temperature scale and bolometric corrections from 2MASS photometry
This paper presents a method to determine effective temperatures, angular semi-diameters and bolometric corrections for population I and II FGK type stars based on V and 2MASS IR photometry. Accurate calibration is accomplished by using a sample of solar analogues, whose average temperature is assumed to be equal to the solar effective temperature of 5777 K. By taking into account all possible ...
متن کاملTowards a fundamental calibration of stellar parameters of A, F, G, K dwarfs and giants
I report on the implementation of the empirical surface brightness technique using the near-infrared Johnson broadband (V − K) colour as suitable sampling observable aimed at providing accurate effective temperatures of 537 dwarfs and giants of A-F-G-K spectral-type selected for a flux calibration of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The surface brightness-colour correlation is carefully ca...
متن کاملModel atmospheres broad-band colors, bolometric corrections and temperature calibrations for O - M stars
Broad band colors and bolometric corrections in the Johnson-Cousins-Glass system (Bessell, 1990; Bessell & Brett, 1988) have been computed from synthetic spectra from new model atmospheres of Kurucz (1995a), Castelli (1997), Plez, Brett & Nordlund (1992), Plez (1995-97), and Brett (1995a,b). These atmospheres are representative of larger grids that are currently being completed. We discuss diff...
متن کاملTransformations between the theoretical and observational planes in the HST–NICMOS and WFPC2 photometric systems
Color–temperature relations and bolometric corrections in the HST–NICMOS F1110W, F160W and F222M and in the WFPC2 F439W, F555W and F814W photometric systems, using two different sets of model atmospheres, have been derived. This database of homogeneous, self–consistent transformations between the theoretical and observational planes also allows combinations of visual and infrared quantities, wi...
متن کاملEclipsing binaries as standard candles : HD 23642 and the distance to the Pleiades
We present a reanalysis of the light curves of HD 23642, a detached eclipsing binary star in the Pleiades open cluster, with emphasis on a detailed error analysis. We compare the masses and radii of the two stars to predictions of stellar evolutionary models and find that the metal and helium abundances of the Pleiades are approximately solar. We present a new method for finding distances to ec...
