ABSTRACT

Stothers 1972

Stothers, R., 1972: A recalibration of the absolute magnitudes of supergiants. Publ. Astron. Soc. Pacific, 84, 375-378.

Because of the usefulness of supergiants in studies of galactic structure, an improved calibration of the visual absolute magnitudes for luminosity class I stars is derived. Significant differences from the results of Blaauw and Schmidt-Kaler are found at some MK classes.
