Abstract

The photometry of G and K subdwarfs in the Vilnius photometric system permits us to recognize them photometrically and to determine their metallicity, despite the presence of interstellar reddening. The weakening of the strong metallic lines in their spectra can also be used to estimate their metallicity.
