Metallicity Calibration and Photometric Parallax Estimation: I. UBV photometry

We present metallicity and photometric parallax calibrations for the F and G type dwarfs with photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic data. The sample consists of 168 dwarf stars covering the colour, iron abundance and absolute magnitude intervals $0.30<(B-V{)}_0<0.68$ mag, $-2.0<[Fe\mathrm{/}H]<0.4$ dex and $3.4<M_V<6.0$ mag, respectively. The means and standard deviations of the metallicity and absolute magnitude residuals are small, i.e. $⟨\mathrm{\Delta }[Fe\mathrm{/}H{]}_{res}⟩=0$ and $\sigma =0.134$ dex, and $\langle\Delta (M_V)_{res}\rangle=0$and$\sigma=0.174$ mag, respectively, which indicate accurate metallicity and photometric parallax estimations.
