Fundamental Parameters of CP Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
The quest for accurate fundamental parameters (M, R, Teff log g, v sin i) of CP stars has been a lasting problem ever since the nature and origin of these stars has been discussed. The main reason for the difficulty lies in the anomalous colours of these stars, linked with their abundance anomalies which are responsible for complicated blocking and backwarming effects. In the following, we review the Teff determinations proposed so far, and show how the Hipparcos results improve the radius and log g determinations of nearby Ap stars.
