Aa. Ferro et Ee. Mendoza, CALIBRATIONS OF M-UPSILON, [FE H], AND LOG-G FOR YELLOW SUPERGIANT STARS FROM O I-7774 AND U-UPSILON-BY-BETA-DATA/, The Astronomical journal, 106(6), 1993, pp. 2516-2523
New calibrations of the absolute magnitude M(v) from O I 7774 data are
derived from narrow-band photometry and low dispersion spectroscopy f
or A0-G2 low and high luminosity stars. The nonlinear dependence of M(
v) from the equivalent width W(O I) and the relevance of the stellar t
emperature in the calibration are confirmed in agreement with previous
calibrations obtained from high resolution spectroscopy. Also functio
nal formulas to estimate [Fe/H] and log g from uvbybeta data for F0-G3
supergiants are offered. These calibrations predict iron abundances.
and gravities for yellow supergiants with uncertainties not much highe
r than good spectroscopic determinations.
