Some Characteristics of Color Systems.
Abstract
Relations between various color systems are investigated. Systemic reductions are given in terms of interstellar reddening, a normal main sequence, and the yellow giants. As would be expected from the work of W. Becker and the "Siz-Color Photometry" of Stebbins and Whitford, different relations are found for the three groups of stars. The ratios of reddening to total visual absorption are found to be: Avis= Avis=3.OE(B-v) ; Avis=6.lEi.
