Description:
    We  have applied the  InfraRed Flux Method  (IRFM) to a  sample of 475
    dwarfs and  subdwarfs in order to  derive their effective temperatures
    with  a mean accuracy of about 1.5%.  We have used the new homogeneous
    grid  of theoretical model atmosphere  flux distributions developed by
    Kurucz  (1991, 1993) for the application  of the IRFM. The atmospheric
    parameters of the stars cover, roughly, the ranges:
    3500K<=T_eff_<=8000K; -3.5<=[Fe/H]<=+0.5; 3.5<=log(g)<=5. 
    The monochromatic infrared fluxes at the continuum, and the bolometric
    fluxes  are derived using  recent results, which  satisfy the accuracy
    requirements of the work.

Note (1): Giclas number has been preferred  when available. HD, BD, HR and GJ
           numbers were used otherwise. The stars are ordered in right ascension
Note (2): 1: SB501: Wrong FJ, (J=11.22).
          2: G036-050: The error in FJ is greater than 10%, hence no TJ is
              provided.
          3: G178-030: Very faint star, J=11.63, H=11.31 and K=11.127.
          4: G167-011: The error in FJ is greater than 20%. The faintest star
              of the sample (J=12.99).
          5: HR6228: Wrong FJ.
          6: G017-037: Very faint star, J=11.706, H=11.300 and K=11.297.
          7: G021-006: Wrong FJ, (J=10.38).
          8: G126-063: Faint star, J=10.69, H=10.64 and K=10.59.
          9: G217-008: Wrong FJ.
Note (3): A bracket indicates that the temperature has not been considered
           in the mean as explained in Sect. 5.
          A parentheses indicates temperatures under 4000 K. In this case
           there isn't estimation of the total error because of the
           uncertainties of the model fluxes in this range.
Note (4): Error computed considering errors in FBol, FJ, logg and [Fe/H].
Note (5): Mean error computed considering linear transmission of errors from
           e_TJ, e_TH and e_TK.
