Photometry
Scientific paper
Multicolor photometry is made of sixty seven late type stars over wavelengths ranging from 0.3μ to 10.2μ. The observations enable one to distinguish between classes M, S and C. The M and S stars unreddened by interstellar extinction can be separated and their spectral types estimated by multicolor photometry while spectral sub-types for reddened M stars by interstellar extinction can also be derived by our photometry. The computed effective temperatures range from 3325°K down to 1650°K and the bolometric corrections range from -2.2 to -11.0 magnitude. Possibly Carbon stars have brighter M_v than the M and S stars of the same effective temperature. Multicolor photometry is substantially affected by the ratio O/C. Hence the bolometric corrections and effective temperatures derived from it will depend on the ratio O/C. The effect of this ratio in B-V, for example, is to make S stars intrinsically redder than M stars for the same temperature. Again, this ratio will cause the Carbon stars to appear even much redder intrinsically than cither M or S stars of the same temperature.
