Analyses of Crawford’s uvby β calibrations using the pulsational variations of FG Vir. Veröffentlichungen der Kommission für Astronomie|Communications in Asteroseismology|Communications in Asteroseismology 162 162|

, 2011
Crawford’s uvby ß calibration method is examined for A-type stars by comparing it with the pulsational variations of the observable m1, c1 and MV for the δ Scuti star FG Vir. The fit between the calibration values of m1 and MV and the respective measurements for FG Vir are tested as a function of temperature based on 3068 4-colour values taken at the ...
