Description:
   We have used recent Kurucz models and many standard stars to revise
   previous calibrations of the Geneva photometric parameters in terms of
   Teff, logg, and [M/H]. In addition, new parameters pT and pG were defined,
   which are the Geneva equivalents of Stromgren's a and r parameters and
   allow to estimate Teff and logg for stars with intermediate temperature
   (spectral type A0-A3). A fortran code (calib.f) has been written, which
   applies our calibration to stars measured in the Geneva system.
   A conspicuous change in slope appears in the grid d vs B2-V1. It seems to
   be linked with the onset of convection in the superficial layers of the
   star's envelope.
