Effective temperatures and radii of Small Magellanic Cloud supergiants.
Abstract
The effective temperatures and radii of Small Magellanic Cloud supergiants are found by comparison with models. The methods used parallel those used previously by ourselves for the Large Cloud and by Underhill and co-workers for the Galaxy. No significant difference is found among these galaxies in this respect. A new analysis of the SMC extinction law is presented.
