F6V HD 30652 is the F6V dagger standard (Garrison 1994). HD 173667 and HD 142860 appear to be good standards too. MK43,Morgan65, Morgan71, Garrison72, MorganAbt73,Cowley74, lists pi^3 Ori (HD 30652) as its F6V stnadard. Cowley76 used pi^3 Ori (HD 30652) and 110 Her as their F6V standards. Skiff08 flags one stars as a F6V MK standard: pi^3 Ori = HD 30652 = HR 1543. Morgan65 classified five F6V Hyads: HD 27483, 27534, 27848, 28406, 28483. Gray01/03/06 classify 41 nearby stars as F6V. Their median HIP colors: (F6V) = 0.482 (+-0.003 sem, +-0.024 stdev; N=41) (F6V) = 0.557 (+-0.004 sem, +-0.024 stdev; N=41) # No standard Keenan85 & Corbally86 do not list a F6V standard # dagger standard HD 30652 = pi^3 Ori = 1 Ori = HIP 22449 = HR 1543 = GJ 178 F6V: MK43,JM53,Morgan65,Morgan71,Garrison72(stan),MK73,MorganAbt73,Cowley74(stan),Gray89,Garrison94 F6V-IV: Gray01 No Houk type Morgan65 calls pi3 Ori the F6V "fundamental classification standard" B-V(HIP)=0.484, Vmag=3.19, Mv=3.67, dMv=-0.03, par=124.6+-0.9 mas # Weak Standard HD 142860 = gam Ser = HIP 78072 = HR 5933 = GJ 603 F6V : Jaschek78,Garcia89,JM53,Gray01,GrayNstars(only F6V stan),Houk(stan? not in catalog) F7VAB : Kennedy83 F5 : Cannon B-V(HIP)=0.478, Vmag=3.85, Mv=3.62, dMv=-0.04, par=89.92+-0.83 mas HD 173667 = 110 Her = HR 7061 = HIP 92043 = GJ 725.2 = GJ 9635 F6V: JM53,Garcia89,Cowley76(stan),Jaschek78 F5.5IV-V: Gray01 No Houk type B-V(HIP)=0.483, Vmag=4.19, Mv=2.79, dMv=-0.91, par=52.4+-0.6 mas slightly evolved? probably not a good dwarf standard HD 170153 = chi Dra F6V: MK43,Roman52(lines strong) F7V: JM53,Cowley67,Jaschek64(most),Cowley76 F7V mw: Gray01(metal weak) F8Vb: Barry70(uv metals vweak) fF8gF6mF6: Jaschek89 F8: Cannon Morgan changed it from F6V (MK43) to F7V (JM53), then later it was considered a metal weak F7V or F8V. Probably not a useful standard. Note that these stars all have B-V ~ 0.48, but varies by 200K !
