Description
The spectroscopic parallaxes in the Hipparcos catalogue can be used to
translate absolute stellar fluxes observed at Earth to the fluxes
emerging at the stellar surface for nearby stars. The comparison of
these fluxes with the predictions of theoretical model atmospheres
allows us to determine the effective temperature and the metallicity of
the stars. It is suggested that it is possible to study the stellar
content of the solar neighbourhood making use of the large number of
ultraviolet spectra in the archive of the IUE satellite.
