DERIVING STELLAR EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURES OF METAL-POOR STARS WITH THE EXCITATION POTENTIAL METHOD

It is well established that stellar effective temperatures determined from photometry and spectroscopy yield systematically different results. We describe a new, simple method to correct spectroscopically derived temperatures ("excitation temperatures") of metal-poor stars based on a liter...
