The effect of TiO absorption in late M giants on the Lockwood five-color narrow-band photometric system.
Abstract
In the Lockwood (1972) five-color narrow-band photometric system, the "continuum" filter 87 is contaminated by TiO for the latest M types. This TiO blanketing is estimated as a function of spectral type. Applications are given.
