Scientific paper

A three-dimensional classification scheme for middle to late M stars having normal surface compositions can be defined by means of such conventional classification criteria as continuous fluxes, metal ion lines, and TiO bands. In addition to measuring effective temperature and surface gravity, this classification measures geometric extension as a third fundamental photospheric parameter. The dependence of the TiO bands on photospheric extension is demonstrated by a TiO color index that is constructed as a function of the photospheric extension at effective temperatures of 3000 and 2750 K.
