Abstract
Stellar photometry is a powerful tool for determining stellar parameters, especially effective temperature. The role of fundamental stars is discussed, along with the accuracy of values for the Sun, Vega and Procyon. Absolutely calibrated flux measurements enable the direct determination of effective temperature for stars with known angular diameters, and indirectly via the Infrared Flux Method and model flux-fitting. Broad- and intermediate-band photometric systems are also discussed.
