G2V Sun is the G2V dagger standard (Garrison94,JM53,Morgan65,Morgan71,MK73,Keenan85,Houk,Keenan88) For discussion on spectral type of Sun, see Keenan 1991 (PASP, 103, 642) and Morgan & Keenan 1939 (PASP, 51, 355). Skiff08 flags three stars as G2V MK standards, all from Keenan89: HD 146233 (G2Va), HD 45184 (G2Va), and HD 76151 (G2V). Morgan65 did not classify any Hyads as G2V. Cowley76 uses HR 483 as their G2V standard. After the Sun, RECONS lists Alf Cen A (GJ 559A; J1439-6050) as the nearest G2V. Gray01/03/06 list 48 nearby G2V stars. Median HIP colors: (G2V) = 0.647 (+-0.003 sem, +-0.035 stdev; N=48) (G2V) = 0.706 (+-0.005 sem, +-0.024 stdev; N=48) # No Standards MK43 surprisingly does not list a G2V standard. # Other Standards HD 45184 = HR 2318 G2Va: Keenan88,Keenan99 G2V: Houk82 Skiff09 lists *only* the Keenan89 type. So "all" published types are G2V or variant. HD 76151 = HR 3538 G2V: Keenan88,Keenan99,Gray01 G3/5V: Houk99(q=2) G5V: Harlan74 G3V: Popper43,Joy47 At least Keenan & Gray agree. HD 98230B = xi UMa B = HR 4374 G2V: Keenan88 HD 146223 = HR 6060 = 18 Sco G2Va: Keenan88 lam Ser G2V: MK43 # Weak Standard HD 2141 G2V: Keenan89,Keenan99(not in Keenan88) G3V: Houk88 G1V: McNeil86(by McNeil) G2IV-V: McNeil86(by Keenan) McNeil86 notes "metallic lines very slightly weak?" Not a great standard given G1-G3V published types. HD 44594 = HR 2290 G2Va: Keenan89,Keenan99(not in Keenan88) G3V: Houk78 G4V: Jaschek78(Evans66) Not a great standard given G2-G4V published types.
