A statistical study is made of the distribution of stars in the log T(eff)-log gN plane based on the photometric data set of the Geneva system. To that end we made an analysis of the methods for deriving the atmospheric parameters T(eff) and log gN (the Newtonian acceleration of gravity) from different sets of photometric data, corrected for the influence of extinction. We found, using the Geneva photometric system, that the Newtonian gravity can only be determined with good accuracy for stars with effective temperatures below 10,000 K. We show the relations between luminosity class and gravity for stars with T(eff) values of 3.75 to 3.94 and compare these with the theoretically predicted radiative instability line of Gustafsson and Plez (1992).
