Intrinsic ultraviolet colors from OAO-2 Celescope observations for stars on the main sequence
Abstract
Intrinsic ultraviolet colors (Uj- v)o have been determined with ultraviolet magnitudes derived from several hundred observations taken with the photometers of OAO-2's Celescope experiment. Relationships between intrinsic ultraviolet color, (B- v)o, and spectral class are presented for main-sequence stars from B 0 to G 3. A brief description of the Celescope and its calibration is included, and a comparison of the determined colors is made with theoretical colors.
