Journal ArticleDOI
Jhklm photometry: standard systems, passbands, and intrinsic colors
Michael S. Bessell,J. M. Brett +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relations between colors of the JHKL systems of several observatories are examined, and linear relations are derived for transformation between the (J-K), (H, K, H, and L) colors in the different systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
An absolutely calibrated T eff scale from the infrared flux method. Dwarfs and subgiants
TL;DR: In this paper, a large set of solar twins, stars which are spectroscopically and photometrically identical to the Sun, were used to set the absolute zero point of the effective temperature scale to within few degrees.
Journal ArticleDOI
An absolutely calibrated effective temperature scale from the InfraRed Flux Method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a large set of solar twins, stars which are spectroscopically and photometrically identical to the Sun, to set the absolute zero point of the effective temperature scale to within few degrees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ubvri photometry ii: the cousins vri system, its temperature and absolute flux calibration, and relevance for two-dimensional photometry.
TL;DR: In this article, the Cousins VRI system is proposed as an ideal system to adopt as the standard system for both Northern and Southern Hemisphere near-IR observations, and a comparison between (b-y), (G-R)6, (V-I)jJ, and (VI)C color indices measured for a large sample of equatorial HR stars is made.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hamburg/ESO R-process enhanced star survey (HERES). II. Spectroscopic analysis of the survey sample
Paul S. Barklem,Norbert Christlieb,Timothy C. Beers,Vanessa Hill,Michael S. Bessell,J. Holmberg,B. Marsteller,Silvia Rossi,F.-J. Zickgraf,Dieter Reimers +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of analysis of "snapshot" spectra of 253 metal-poor halo stars −3.8 ≤ (Fe/H) ≤− 1.5 obtained in the HERES survey are presented.
