Absolute parameters of 509 main-sequence stars selected from the components of detached-eclipsing spectroscopic binaries in the Solar neighbourhood are used to study mass-luminosity, mass-radius and mass-effective temperature relations (MLR, MRR and MTR). The MLR function is found better if expressed by a six-piece classical MLR (L ∝ M α ) rather than a fifth or a sixth degree polynomial within the mass range of 0.179 M/M ⊙ 31. The break points separating the mass-ranges with classical MLR do not appear to us to be arbitrary. Instead, the data indicate abrupt changes along the mass axis in the mean energy generation per unit of stellar mass. Unlike the MLR function, the MRR and MTR functions cannot be determined over the full range of masses. A single piece MRR function is calibrated from the radii of stars with M 1.5M ⊙ , while a second single piece MTR function is found for stars with M > 1.5M ⊙ . The missing part of the MRR is computed from the MLR and MTR, while the missing part of the MTR is computed from the MLR and MRR. As a result, we have interrelated MLR, MRR and MTR, which are useful in determining the typical absolute physical parameters of main-sequence stars of given masses. These functions are also useful to esc The Authors 2 Eker et al. timate typical absolute physical parameters from typical T ef f values. Thus, we were able to estimate the typical absolute physical parameters of mainsequence stars observed in the Sejong Open Cluster survey, based on that survey's published values for T ef f . Since typical absolute physical parameters of main sequence stars cannot normally be determined in such photometric surveys, the interrelated functions are shown to be useful to compute such missing parameters from similar surveys.
ABSTRACTNearby detached double-lined eclipsing binaries with most accurate data were studied and 290 systems were found with at least one main-sequence component having a metallicity of 0.008 ≤ Z ≤ 0.040. Stellar parameters, light ratios, Gaia Data Release 2 trigonometric parallaxes, extinctions and/or reddening were investigated and only 206 systems were selected as eligible to calculate empirical bolometric corrections. NASA/IPAC Galactic dust maps were the main source of extinctions. Unreliable extinctions at low Galactic latitudes |b| ≤ 5° were replaced with individual determinations, if they exist in the literature, else associated systems were discarded. The main-sequence stars of te remaining systems were used to calculate the bolometric corrections (BCs) and to calibrate the BC–Teff relation, which is valid in the range 3100–36 000 K. De-reddened (B − V)0 colours, on the other hand, allowed us to calibrate two intrinsic colour–effective temperature relations; the linear one is valid for $T_{\rm eff}\gt 10\, 000$ K, while the quadratic relation is valid for $T_{\rm eff}\lt 10\, 000$ K; that is, both are valid in the same temperature range in which the BC–Teff relation is valid. New BCs computed from Teff and other astrophysical parameters are tabulated, as well.
Plant tolerance to salinity stress is vital for irrigation scheduling, decision-making, planning and operation, and water resource management. This study is aimed to investigate the effects of irrigation water salinity on water use, growth, physiology, and yield parameters of drip-irrigated tomatoes in two different growing seasons. In addition to control (0.7 dS m−1), three irrigation water salinity levels: 2.5 (low), 5.0 (moderate), and 7.5 (high) dS m−1 were used. In both seasons, autumn 2021 and spring 2022, increased water salinities caused an increase in soil salinity, while a decrease in seasonal crop evapotranspiration. Plant heights did not show significant differences under different salinity levels in autumn 2021, while a meaningful difference among treatments was found in spring 2022. Marketable and total tomato yields, and the leaf area index showed significant decreases under increased salinities in both seasons. Stomatal conductance was not affected by salinity levels. The salt tolerance models for marketable and total fruit yields showed a low threshold and slope value in autumn 2021, contrasting with a high threshold and slope value determined in spring 2022. The results suggest that the salinity slope value should be considered, as well as the salinity threshold value, for decision making in tomato production at different growing seasons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
