Description:
Observed values of the Stromgren colors were collected from the
literature. A computer program calculated the reddening for each star.
This value was used to compute the unreddened value of (b-v), c, and m.
These were then used to compute [c(1)], [m(1)], and [u-b] for the star.
Except for the H beta index, the observed quantities are not included.
Introduction:
The stars were divided into groups by spectral types by means of the
bracket quantities. Stars which deviated too greatly from the standard
relations could not be dereddened. These include peculiar stars and high
luminosity stars and are listed in reject.dat. Various discussions by
Crawford were followed to deredden the other stars. The zero point of
the [Fe/H] relation was changed from 0.4 to 0.2 on the basis of the
study by Gustafsson and Nissen (1972) and some corrections were made to
the effective temperature scale in order to fit the new model by Kurucz
(1979). Otherwise, the derivations followed the methods of Philip,
Miller, and Relyea (1976).
