Empirical Bolometric Correction and Zero-Point Constants of Visual Magnitudes from High-Resolution Spectra

Gökhan Yücel, Selçuk Bilir, Volkan Bakış +1

A method of obtaining bolometric corrections () from observed high-resolution, high- spectra is described. The method is applied to spectra of 128 stars collected…

Fundamentals of Stars II: Revisiting Bolometric Corrections

Z. Eker, V. Bakis

The development line of bolometric corrections within the brief history of photometry was described from the perspective of the Kuhnian philosophy of science. The luminous efficien…

Kinematics of Cataclysmic Variables in the Solar Neighborhood in the Gaia Era

R. Canbay, T. Ak, S. Bilir +2

Using high-precision astrometric data from Gaia DR3 and updated systemic velocities from the literature, kinematical properties of cataclysmic variables (CVs) were investigated. By…

Fundamentals of Stars: Critical Looks at Mass-Luminosity Relations and Beyond

Z. Eker, F. Soydugan, S. Bilir

Developments on various relations among stellar variables such as the main sequence empirical mass-luminosity (MLR), mass-radius (MRR) and mass-effective temperature (MTR) relation…

A Silent Revolution in Fundamental Astrophysics

Z. Eker, F. Soydugan, V. Bakis +2

Arbitrariness in the zero point of bolometric corrections is a nearly century-old paradigm leading to two more paradigms. "Bolometric corrections must always be negative," and "bol…
