Abstract
The dependency of the Hβ-index on two physical parameters is briefly discussed. The previous calibration of Mv(β) (Fernie, 1965 or Crawford, 1971) is confirmed for main sequence O and B stars; however, the β-values of the later B-supergiants tend to be too large for their absolute magnitudes. The problem of filtering out stars with marginal emission is emphasized.
