The Stellar Temperature Scale from Angular Diameters and Flux Distributions

  • Conference paper
Fundamental Stellar Properties: The Interaction Between Observation and Theory

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union / Union Astronomique Internationale ((IAUS,volume 189))

Abstract

The current situation for the measurement of effective temperatures from interferometrically determined angular diameters and spectrophometry in the UV, visible and IR is considered. Accuracies and reliabilities of the resulting temperatures are assessed and coverage of stellar types is discussed.
