Correlation of logR'HK with logIH{alpha}

These fractions are compatible with those found for the case of early-M dwarfs. Stars exhibiting a positive correlation have a tendency to be more active when compared to the median of the sample, while stars showing a negative correlation are more present among higher metallicity stars. There is also a tendency for the positively correlated stars to be more present among the coolest stars, a result which is probably due to the activity level effect on the correlation.

Activity level and metallicity therefore seem to be playing a role on the correlation between logR'_HK_ and logI_H{alpha}_. Possible explanations based on the influence of filaments for the diversity in the correlations between these indices are discussed in this paper. As a parallel result, we show a way to estimate the effective temperature of FGK dwarfs that exhibit a low activity level by using the H{alpha} index.
