Properties of spectral indices.

Index Description Indicator type

μ1μ7 TiO and CaH bands Teff late-type (μ7 also log g)
αw Hα wings Teff early-type, CTTS if αw> 1.1
αc Hα core chromospheres
βt metal line “quintet” λλ6493 − 6500 Teff intermediate type
β c low-gravity “quintet” lines log g
ζ 1 Fe I lines λλ 6625–6635 Teff intermediate type
γ 1 low-gravity lines λλ 6758–6776 log g

μ 0.25(μ1 + μ3 + μ5 + μ7) Teff late-type
β 1 − βc/βt log g
τ min(αw,1) − βtζ1 + 3 × μ Teff all types
γ β + γ1 log g all types
ζ ζ1βt metallicity
ζ r ζ/Z(τ) Teff-corrected metallicity
γ z Teff- and z-corrected gravity
