Bolometric correction of the roAp star αCir

Brandão, I. M.; Cunha, M. S.; Gameiro, J. F.

Abstract

For the first time, the bolometric correction of α Cir was determined. Two values, both based on an estimation of the total integrated flux, were obtained. For that purpose spectroscopic and photometric data of α Cir available in the literature was used. The values derived were then used to place α Cir in the HR diagram.
