Effective temperatures for 420 stars with spectral types
between A0 and K3, and luminosity classes between II and V,
selected for a flux calibration of the Infrared Space Observatory,
ISO, have been determined using the Infrared Flux Method (IRFM).
The determinations are based on narrow and wide band
photometric data obtained for this purpose, and take into account
previously published narrow-band measures of temperature.
Regression coefficients are given for relations between the
determined temperatures and the photometric parameters
, 
and 
,
corrected for interstellar extinction through
use of Hipparcos parallaxes. A correction for the effect of
metallicity on the determination of integrated flux is proposed.
The importance of a knowledge of metallicity in the representation
of derived temperatures for Class V, IV and III stars by empirical
functions is discussed and formulae given.
An estimate is given for the probable error of each temperature
determination.
