Luminosity-Colour Relations for Red Clump Stars

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2015-06-11 v2

Abstract

We calibrated the MVM_V, MJM_J, MKsM_{K_s} and MgM_g absolute magnitudes of red clump stars in terms of colours. MVM_V and MgM_g are strongly dependent on colour, while the dependence of MJM_J and MKsM_{K_s} on colour is rather weak. The calibration of MVM_V and MKsM_{K_s} absolute magnitudes is tested on 101 RC stars in the field SA 141. The Galactic model parameters estimated with this sample are in good agreement with earlier studies.
