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.
