Arbitrariness attributed to the zero point constant of the $V$ band bolometric corrections ($BC_V$) and its relation to "bolometric magnitude of a star ought to be brighter than its visual magnitude" and "bolometric corrections must always…
The International Astronomical Union 2015 Resolution B2 (IAU2015GARB2) has resolved the long-standing problem of zero-point constants for the absolute and apparent bolometric magnitude scales and opened a new window in fundamental…
When making use of tabulations of empirical bolometric corrections for stars (BC_V), a commonly overlooked fact is that while the zero point is arbitrary, the bolometric magnitude of the Sun (Mbol_Sun) that is used in combination with such…

Context. In order to determine stellar luminosities and radii, it is necessary to know the total bolometric fluxes emitted by the stars, or equivalently the bolometric corrections (BCs) as accurately as possible. Aims. The aim of this paper…
The development line of bolometric corrections within the brief history of photometry was described from the perspective of the Kuhnian philosophy of science. The luminous efficiency and heat index were two previous concepts to imply visual…

Estimating accurate bolometric fluxes for stars requires reliable photometry to absolutely flux calibrate the spectra. This is a significant problem for studies of very bright stars, which are generally saturated in modern photometric…

We provide three statistical model prescriptions for the bolometric corrections appropriate for B-type stars as a function of: 1) T_eff, 2) T_eff, log g, and 3) T_eff, log g, [M/H]. These statistical models have been calculated for 27…
