We present up-to-date metallicity-dependent temperature vs. color calibrations for main sequence and giant stars based on temperatures derived with the infrared flux method (IRFM). Seventeen colors in the following photometric systems: UBV, uvby, Vilnius, Geneva, RI(Cousins), DDO, Hipparcos-Tycho, and 2MASS, have been calibrated. The spectral types covered range from F0 to K5 (7000 K<Teff<4000 K) with some relations extending below 4000 K or up to 8000 K. Most of the calibrations are valid in the metallicity range -3.5<[Fe/H]<0.4, although some of them extend to as low as [Fe/H]=-4.0. All fits to the data have been performed with more than 100 stars; standard deviations range from 30 K to 120 K. Fits were carefully performed and corrected to eliminate the small systematic errors introduced by the calibration formulae. Tables of colors as a function of Teff and [Fe/H] are provided.

  1. The complex stellar system M 22: constraining the chemical enrichment from AGB stars using magnesium isotope ratios

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First Mg isotope measurements at [Fe/H]≈-2 in a globular cluster show no difference tied to s-process enrichment, favoring ~2.75 M_sun AGB polluters and a 280–480 Myr age gap.

  2. The complex stellar system M 22: confirming abundance variations with high precision differential measurements

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    High-precision differential abundances confirm M 22 hosts a >0.24 dex iron spread and ~0.65 dex s-process spread, and reveal new internal abundance variations within each population.

  3. Recalibration of SDSS photometric zero-points based on the InfraRed Flux Method temperature scale

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Revised SDSS ugriz zero-points obtained by inverting IRFM on 6000+ FGK stars to match an adopted temperature scale, with largest offset in u band depending on filter curves.

  4. Empirical colour--effective temperature relations in the SDSS system from IRFM temperatures of GALAH and APOGEE stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    New empirical color-Teff calibrations in the SDSS system from IRFM temperatures of 3902 GALAH and 2535 APOGEE stars, with 30-50 K precision for long-baseline colors.
