Metallicity Calibration and Photometric Parallax Estimation: I. UBV
  photometry
  We present metallicity and photometric parallax calibrations for the F and G
type dwarfs with photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic data. The sample
consists of 168 dwarf stars covering the colour, iron abundance and absolute
magnitude intervals $0.30<(B-V)_0<0.68$ mag, $-2.0<[Fe/H]<0.4$ dex and
$3.4<M_V<6.0$ mag, respectively. The means and standard deviations of the
metallicity and absolute magnitude residuals are small, i.e.
$\langle\Delta[Fe/H]_{res}\rangle=0$ and $\sigma=0.134$ dex, and $\langle\Delta
(M_V)_{res}\rangle=0$ and $\sigma=0.174$ mag, respectively, which indicate
accurate metallicity and photometric parallax estimations.
