A study of reddened luminous stars in the Southern Milky Way. II. Hβ photometry, reddening and distances.
Abstract
Hβ photometry is given for 263 reddened and very reddened stars from the Stephenson & Sanduleak (1971) catalogue of Luminous Stars in the Southern Milky Way (LSS). The results are combined with the uvby photometry presented in Paper I to determine reddenings, E(b-y), and distances for the stars and to estimate the spectral types and luminosity classes from derived Teff and Mv values.
