The determination of stellar parameters is first based on spectroscopy, where parameters are derived from Fe line equivalent widths using the 1D local thermodynamical equilibrium (LTE) synthesis code pyMOOGi. The second approach is based on photometry, employing colour-Teff relations, Gaia parallaxes, and bolometric corrections. Analyses of the two stars reveal systematic discrepancies: photometric Teff, log(g), and [Fe/H] are higher than spectroscopic values. Offsets exceed uncertainties, mainly due to the limited Fe II line set and non-LTE effects in spectroscopy. Photometric based parameters prove more consistent and reliable, particularly when using (V-K) or (BP-K) colours. These findings confirm previous results and demonstrate that photometric methods yield more reliable stellar parameters, especially for CEMP stars than 1D LTE spectroscopic methods.2026A&A...708L..17Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/708/L17CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/708/L17https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/708/L17http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/708/L17https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/708/L17https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/708/L17http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/708/L17GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/708/L17/tablea1Line listrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
