Limb-darkening for cool stars: Standard and irradiated models

Limb-darkening coefficients for a grid of LTE, non-grey atmosphere models has been calculated by means of Upsalla Model Atmosphere (UMA) code using a least-squares fitting. Both linear and quadratic laws were adopted in the standard models and in those with irradiation from a companion, star as well, more realistic for the case of close binaries. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
