Geneva Photometry, Multicolor Photometry

Scientific paper

In this second part of the article, we discuss the significance of the multicolour photometric measurement. A multicolour system has properties similar to low resolution spectrophotometry by measuring the stellar spectral energy distribution and is, likewise, sensitive to temperature, luminosity and chemical composition effects. One of the more troublesome factors acting on such chromatic measurements is interstellar wavelength-dependent extinction by dust. A photometric system possessing a sufficient number of well distributed passbands can, nevertheless, largely compensate for interstellar reddening.
