Classification of stars with WBVR photometry

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

Abstract We present a method of obtaining the most reliable stellar spectral type based on multi‐color photometry. The method also allows us to estimate color excess EB—V and distance to the star. Approbation of the method using bright stars with known spectral classification and WBVR photometry permits to estimate its reliability. Stellar spectra models from Pickles (1998) library and Fluks et al. (1994) interstellar extinction law were used in the application of the method. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
