3. THE F5-M STARS

24. F5

The G band is observed as a broad absorption with the violet part of the band somewhat stronger than the red edge. Fe I 4045 and lambda 4226 are very much weaker than Hgamma and Hdelta.

The most sensitive criteria of luminosity are the ratios of lambda 4077 to lambda 4226 and to the Fe I lines at lambda 4045 and lambda 4063.
