Metallicity and absolute magnitude calibrations for UBV photometry. Karatas Y., Schuster W.J. <Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc., 371, 1793-1812 (2006)> =2006MNRAS.371.1793K 2006MNRAS.371.1793K
ADC_Keywords: Stars, early-type ; Photometry, UBV ; Abundances, [Fe/H] ; Magnitudes, absolute Keywords: stars: abundances - stars: distances - solar neighbourhood Abstract: Calibrations are presented here for metallicity ([Fe/H]) in terms of the ultraviolet excess, [Δ(U-B) at B-V=0.6, hereafter D0.6], and also for the absolute visual magnitude (MV) and its difference with respect to the Hyades (ΔMHV) in terms of D0.6 and (B-V), making use of high-resolution spectroscopic abundances from the literature and Hipparcos parallaxes. Description: UBV photometry [V, (B-V), (U-B)] has been collected from large data bases in conjunction with the derivation of intrinsic-colour, metallicity and absolute magnitude calibrations of F-, G- and early-K-type stars for uvby-beta photometry being derived by Karata & Schuster (in preparation).
