Infrared colors of low-mass stars
Abstract
A total of 322 red dwarf stars are studied in a review of IR IJHK photometry to discern chromospheric activity and kinematic data regarding metallicity effects in the IR color:color diagrams. The metallicity variations are employed to assess changes in the H(-) continuum opacity and water-vapor characterizations. The stars are classified in terms of metal-richness with five categories including young disk, old disk, and halo types with attention given to the inverse relationship between metallicity and water-band absorption strength. The results include IR photometric parallax relations for each metallicity group and absolute magnitudes for single stars as well as temperatures, intrinsic colors, and spectral types. The body of data is useful for constraining models of the interiors and atmospheres of this class of stars.

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.
