Description
Systematic differences in photometric stellar surface gravity determination are studied by means of the comparison with empirical values derived from detached double-lined eclipsing binaries. Photometric gravities were computed using Moon & Dworetsky (1985MNRAS.217..305M) grids based on Kurucz (1979ApJS...40....1K) atmosphere models, and empiric al gravities were taken from Andersen (1991A&ARv...3...91A). Individual Stroemgren colours and {beta} indices of each component of the binary system have to be taken into account to correctly analyze the observed differences. A compilation of data on a sample containing 30 detached double-lined eclipsing binaries with accurate (=~1-2%) determination of mass and radius and available uvbyH_{beta}_ photometric data is also presented. Correction of the differences in terms of T_eff_ and logg for the range 11000K<T_eff_<20000K reduces the mean residuals from 0.13dex to 0.07dex. For the range 7000K<T_eff_<8500K, the consideration of metallicity effects by means of {delta}m_o_ index improves the accuracy from 0.20dex to 0.09dex.
