All Tables

• Table 1: Overview of the used evolutionary models from D'Antona & Mazzitelli (1994) (DM94), D'Antona & Mazzitelli (1997) (DM97), BCAH98, PS99, Siess et al. (2000) (SDF00) and Yi et al. (2003) (YKD03) with the choices of free parameters. The table is restricted to those parameters which are necessary to distinguish between the models.
• Table 2: Adopted temperature scales with validity range in MK spectral type, luminosity class, method of construction, intrinsic errors and validity range of the intrinsic errors. We distinguish between calibrations which are based directly on effective temperature measurements and those only derived from calibrations of other authors. We refer to the former as primary and to the latter as derived scales. Scales based on older calibrations but that account for new measurements are indicated by "improved''. The origin of the intrinsic errors is explained in Appendix A.
• Table 3: The physical parameters of the two young eclipsing binaries RX J0529.4+0041 A and V1174 Ori as adopted from Covino et al. (2004) and Stassun et al. (2004), respectively. We use their temperature solutions but also determine a set of additional effective temperatures using other temperature scales (see Sect. 3.3).
• Table B.1: The temperature conversion scales for dwarfs at spectral types G0-M 9. For details on the references see Table 2. Temperatures are given in [K].
• Table B.2: Same as Table B.1 for the non-dwarf luminosity classes. The reference abbreviations are appended with "g'' for a giant scale, "sg'' for a subgiant scale and "i'' for an intermediate scale. See Table 2 for further details. Again temperatures are given in [K].
