This is only an informal remark about some difficulties I am worrying about.I have tried to recalibrate the MK system in terms of intrinsic colour (B–V)0and absolute magnitudeMv. The procedures used have been described in a review article by Voigt (Mitt. Astr. Ges.1963, p. 25–35), and the results for stars of the luminosity classes Ia-O,I and II have been given also in Blaauw's article on the calibration of luminosity criteria in vol. III (Basic Astronomical Data, p. 401) ofStars and Stellar Systems.

PurposeAs is well known, there are several aspects that characterise honey consumption and the reasons for purchasing it. Despite this, little attention has been paid to the drivers that move consumers towards the use of honey for its health benefits and therapeutic properties. The aim of this study is to define which drivers move the consumption of honey for its health benefits.Design/methodology/approachThe study, conducted on 640 Italian honey consumers, applied inferential tests (Chi-square) and an econometric model (logit regression), and showed that about 66% of the respondents stated that they consume honey for its health properties.FindingsThe main drivers of honey consumption are both among the intrinsic (Colour) and extrinsic (Origin and Organic certification) attributes of the product. What also emerges is that the propensity to consume honey for health purposes is influenced by the consumer characteristics and habits, such as Age cohort, Gender, BMI and Large retail buyer. Moreover, we observed that consumption is influenced by BMI but not by lifestyle characteristics such as sport and diet.Originality/valueThis study could be a support tool for policymakers who are interested in promoting good nutrition and improving public health, since there is great interest in the functional properties of foods and the need to enhance the value of products, while at the same time ensuring consumer protection.

101 normal Be stars, probable members of 56 galactic clusters and OB-associations, and more than 20 extreme Be stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud were used to derive intrinsic colours of 09-B9 (III-V)e stars. Furthermore, the correlation between the intrinsic colour (U-B)0 and the absolute magnitude of non-supergiant Be stars was confirmed to be and The aim of the present investigation is to enlarge the basis for the determination of intrinsic colours and absolute magnitudes by providing a large sample from the southern sky.

Most Algol-type variables are believed to be close, semi-detached binaries which have evolved from a rapid mass-transfer phase, which reversed the initial mass-ratio, to a relatively quiescent stage where only small-scale transient events perturb the dynamical and the photo-metrical properties of the system.Of all Algol-systems, only the prototype Algol (β Per) itself is bright enough to be traceable in astronomical records reaching back more than 2000 years. Evidence based on medieval stellar lists and 19th-century visual observations strongly suggest that the intrinsic colour of Algol has been subject to substantial variations within historical times. On a few occasions Algol was apparently observed as reddish, which is at variance with its present blue-white appearance (B-V = −0.05 to +0.10).

The main plane of a late type galaxy is best determined by its population I components : young stars, gas and dust. In the case of M82 the determination of its principal plane is complicated by its very irregular appearance and the presence of scattered light. We have used three-colour UBV-photometry of this galaxy to determine the stellar population, using the extinction- free parameter Q = (U-B) − 0.65(B-V), and the extinction AB = 4 ((B-V) − (B-V)oo; (B-V)oo being the intrinsic colour of the population, taken, e.g. from population synthesis calculations. Corrections for scattered light were made using the degree of polarization as well as the excess ultraviolet light (see Notni and Bronkalla, 1983; Notni et al., 1981 for details).

SummaryIntrinsic colours have been determined for 247 of the 275 variable stars listed in the “Catalogue of the Light and Colour Curves of Cepheids in the UBV System” by N. Nikolov. Algorithms for computing intrinsic colour are derived from 59 standard stars. The intrinsic colours of the standards were derived from four sets of data from colour excesses deemed reliable in four references. The colours of the standard stars indicate a need for revival of Eggen’s concept of discretee classes of Cepheid Variables. A new principle of least reddening is used to improve the accuracy of the intrinsic colours of normal supergiants, where these are needed, and to test our derived colour excesses for the 247 Cepheids.
