Hi folks,
This is likely to be a 'how long is a piece of string question' :)
Is there an accepted 'standard' for converting stellar spectra
classifications to surface temperature? For example mapping M0 to 2500K
or G2 to 6200K. I've looked at a few and they all vary by 500-750K to
each other. This is kind of related to APv2 because I'm writing a
script library that could use such a conversion routine. Hmmm, maybe I
feel a feature request coming on! :)
Regards
Robin
