Atmospheric models • match with optical spectra used to determine Teff • In general poor U-B-V fluxes • e.g. strange B-V or V-K colours • Combine observed (3800-9000) with synthetic best match models to obtain a wide wavelength coverage • Apply scale corrections to reproduce observed average colour-colour relations

Nordlund, 75 Photospheric surface fluxes from 1300Å to 20μm sampled with λ/Δλ = 20,000 Theoretical: MARCS stellar model-atmosphere and flux library http://marcs.astro.uu.se/ This is a grid of one-dimensional, plane-parallel andspherical LTE model atmospheres and sampled fluxes. The library supplies model-atmosphere tables and sampled energy fluxes for about 9000 stellar models with Teff between 4000 and 8000K (step 250K) Log g between -1.0 to 5.0 (step 0.5) Metallicities between -5.0 and 1.0 Plane-parallel models are calculated for log g from +3.0 to +5.0 Models with spherical geometry are supplied for log g < +4.0, masses of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 MSun,
