We have analyzed a total sample of 36 stars where 25 are post-AGB stars and 11 are RV Tauri stars, respectively. A group of 11 stars with parallaxes measures were used as calibrators of the absolute magnitude. The result for T$_{\\rm eff}$ and log g from intrinsic colours (J-H)$_{0}$ and (H-K$_{s}$)$_{0}$ at the near-infrared pass bands reach a dispersion of 220 K and 0.27, respectively. We can estimate the absolute magnitude using the intrinsic colour in the near-infrared band with an uncertainty of 0.28 mag. This indicates that (J-H)$_{0}$ and (H-K$_{s}$)$_{0}$ show sensitivity to the absolute magnitude.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-01-13T16:19:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rv tauri stars", "surface gravity", "effective temperature", "near-ir region", "absolute magnitude" ], "publication": { "journal": "Revista Mexicana de Astronomia y Astrofisica", "year": 2012, "month": "Apr", "volume": 48, "pages": 95 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1084603, "adsabs": "2012RMxAA..48...95M" } } }
