Abstract:
The table provides improved numerical relations between effective
temperatures of stars, their B-V colors, and their bolometric
corrections (BC) for the purpose of comparing theoretical stellar
evolutionary calculations to color-magnitude diagrams of star
clusters. Temperature and bolometric correction measurements for
335 stars from the literature form the observational basis for the
transformations. Measured temperatures range from 2900 to 52500K.
