Abstract
The presence of photometric anomalies in broad band colours produced by chromospheric activity was first suggested by Campbell (1984). He defined the colour anomaly δ(B–V)V–K as the deviation from the mean relation (B–V)–(V–K) for Hyades dwarfs, and found this anomaly correlated well with several activity indicators.Since the work of Campbell, several authors have discussed the relation between activity and colour anomalies, obtaining diverging results. This discussion is relevant because long baseline photometric colours are the most reliable temperature indicators, and the presence of such anomalies implies that no consistent temperature scales can be obtained for stars with different activity levels. These topics have been recently reviewed by Soderblom (1989).
