Abstract:
The file contains values of Cousins R-I and theta [= 5040/T(eff)] for
497 F-K stars which are on or near the main sequence.
Introduction:
Paper II contains the original version of the catalog, while Paper VI
contains a supplement. It is believed that the combined database in
the two papers is complete for data published as of the end of 1993.

Notes:
a 1Spectroscopic value of theta (Luck and Bond 1982, ApJ, 259, 792;
Krishnaswamy and Sneden 1985, PASP, 97, 407).
b Spectroscopic value of theta (Luck and Bond 1982, ApJ, 259, 792).
c R-I is from B-V and [Fe/H] (see Eqs. 1-6 of Paper II).
d R-I is from Joner and Taylor (unpublished).
e A value of beta yields a discrepant value of R-I and has not been used.
f Binary (see Table 6 of Paper II).
g Spectroscopic value of theta (Hartmann and Gehren 1988, A&A, 199, 269).
h Values of beta and b-y have not been used for this relatively cool star.
i Triple system (see Table 6 of Paper II).
j Spectroscopic value of theta (Pagel 1964, Royal Obs. Bull., No. 87)
k 1Spectroscopic value of theta (Gratton 1983, A&A, 123, 289; value of sigma
from Pagel 1964, Royal Obs. Bull., No. 87).
o The quoted value of sigma is from Glebocki (1972, Acta Astron., 22, 141)
p 1Spectroscopic value of theta (Peterson 1981, ApJ, 244, 989; value of sigma
from Pagel 1964, Royal Obs. Bull., No. 87).
q E(B-V) is assumed to be 0.03 mag (Carney and Latham 1985, ApJ, 298, 803)
r Binary (see Paper V, Table 6). Combined light, vB 11 and vB 12.
