Towards using optical/NIR photometry to measure the temperature of O stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0702516
Abstract
It has been traditionally stated that it is not possible to use optical/NIR photometry to measure the temperatures of O stars. In this contribution we describe the steps required to overcome the hurdles that have prevented this from happening in the past and we present our preliminary results for the low-extinction case.
