Effective temperatures for the atmospheres of solar-type stars have been determined by comparison of observed hydrogen lines with profiles computed from scaled solar model atmospheres. The analysis is based on more than one hundred high-dispersion spectra of 20 main sequence stars with spectral types F6 V to G5 V and calibrated directly with spectra of the sun, moon, and daylight sky. For early G-type stars the resulting spectroscopic temperature scale deviates considerably from color-temperature relations derived from synthesis of theoretical color indices using model atmospheres with statistical line distribution functions. The spectroscopic calibration yields effective temperatures for G-type stars that are about 200-300 K higher than those predicted from comparison of observed and synthesized color indices.
