The calibration of MK spectral classes using spectral synthesis. 1: The effective temperature calibration of dwarf stars
Abstract
Synthetic spectra based on the new Kurucz models and calculated using the International Business Machines (IBM) personal computer (PC)-based program SPECTRUM (which is described and made available to the astronomical community) are classified using the techniques of MK spectra classification against digital spectra of MK standards. The results are used to calibrate the MK system for solar-composition dwarf stars from B1 V to K5 V in terms of effective temperature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
