Hyades single stars fiducial photometry

The sequence encompasses 250 main-sequence stars ranging from A5V to M6V. Using the "Tool for Astrophysical Data Analysis" (TA-DA), we create various theoretical isochrones applying different combinations of interior and atmospheric models. We compare the isochrones with the observed Hyades single-star sequence on J vs. J-Ks, J vs. J-H and Ks vs. H-Ks color-magnitude diagrams.

As a reference we also compute absolute fluxes and magnitudes for all stars from X-ray to mid-infrared based on photometric measurements available in the literature (ROSAT X-ray, GALEX UV, APASS gri, 2MASS JHKs, and WISE W1 to W4). We find that combinations of both PISA and DARTMOUTH stellar interior models with BT-Settl 2010 atmospheric models describe the observed sequence well. We use PISA in combination with BT-Settl 2010 models to derive theoretical predictions for physical parameters (Teff, mass, logg) of 250 single stars in the Hyades.

The full sequence covers the mass range 0.13 to 2.3M_{sun}_, and effective temperatures between 3060K and 8200K. Conclusions. Within the measurement uncertainties, the current generation of models agree well with the single-star sequence.

The primary limitations are the uncertainties in the measurement of the distance to individual Hyades members, and uncertainties in the photometry. Gaia parallaxes, photometry and spectroscopy will greatly reduce the uncertainties in particular at the lowest mass range, and will enable us to test model predictions with greater confidence. Additionally, a small (~0.05mag) systematic offset can be noted on J vs. J-K and K vs. H-K diagrams - the observed sequence is shifted to redder colors from the theoretical predictions.
