Abstract
The physical parameters, such as the effective temperatures, radii, bolometric magnitudes and bolometric corrections of 87 Ap and Am stars out of the 125 compiled here are essentially based on the work done by the authors at the Kavalur Observatory. The results of the rest of the stars are from the earlier work done by one of the authors, which have been included for the sake of completion. All the results are derived from the observed energy distribution curves of the individual stars. The standardised magnitudes at various wavelengths also have been listed.
