Homework Statement
I need to know how to calculate the temperature of a star from it's B-V color
Homework Equations
B = -2.5log(F440)+C
V = -2.5log(F550)+C
B-V = -2.5log(F440/F550)
The Attempt at a Solution
Really no idea, all my textbooks say that B-V color is used to measure temperature but none of them say how. I also can't find anything linking flux ratios to temperature.
Any help appreciated :)
