In previous work, Gardiner et al. ([CITE]) found evidence for a
discrepancy between the obtained from Balmer lines with that from
photometry and fundamental values for A-type stars. An investigation
into this anomaly is presented using Balmer line profiles of stars in binary
system with fundamental values of both
and
. A revision of the
fundamental parameters for binary systems given by Smalley & Dworetsky
([CITE]) is also presented. The
obtained by fitting Hα and Hβ line profiles is compared to the fundamental values and those obtained
from uvby photometry. We find that the discrepancy found by Gardiner et al.
([CITE]) for stars in the range 7000 K
9000 K is no longer
evident.
