Abstract:
The method developed by Stock & Stock (1999RMxAA..35..143S 1999RMxAA..35..143S) for stars
of spectral types A to K to derive absolute magnitudes and intrinsic
colors from the equivalent widths of absorption lines in stellar
spectra is extended to B-type stars. Spectra of this type of stars for
which the Hipparcos catalogue gives parallaxes with an error of less
than 20% were observed with the CIDA 1-meter reflector equipped with a
Richardson spectrograph with a Thompson 576x384 CCD detector. The
dispersion is 1.753Å/pixel using a 600 lines/mm grating in the
first order. In order to cover the spectral range 3850Å to 5750Å
the grating had to be used in two different positions, with an overlap
in the region from 4800Å to 4900Å. A total of 116 stars was
observed, but not all with both grating positions. A total of 12
measurable absorption lines were identified in the spectra and their
equivalent widths were measured. These were related to the absolute
magnitudes derived from the Hipparcos catalogue and to the intrinsic
colors (deduced from the MK spectral types) using linear and second
order polynomials and two or three lines as independent variables. The
best solutions were obtained with polynomials of three lines,
reproducing the absolute magnitudes with an average residual of about
0.40 magnitudes and the intrinsic colors with an average residual of
0.016 magnitudes.
Description:
The following tables contains the 10 best linear and quadratic
solutions to calculate the absolute magnitudes and the intrinsic
colors, using two or three equivalent widths of some absorption lines.
Also, their average residual, the number of used and eliminated stars
for each combination are given, as well as the coefficients obtained
for the respective terms.
