This is done for a sample of solar metallicity models with effective temperatures between 6000 and 8500K and with logg between 2.5 and 4.5. A comparison is made between these LDC and the ones computed from model atmospheres using the classical mixing length prescription with a mixing length parameter {alpha}=1.25 and {alpha}=0.5. For CGM model atmospheres, the law which reproduces better the model intensity is found to be the square root one for the u band and the cubic law for the v band. The results are more complex for the b and y bands depending on the temperature and gravity of the model. Similar conclusions are reached for Mixing Length Theory (MLT) {alpha}=0.5 models. As expected much larger differences are found between CGM and MLT with {alpha}=1.25. In a second part, the weighted limb-darkening integrals, b_ell_, and their derivatives with respect to temperature and gravity, are then computed using the best limb-darkening law. These integrals are known to be very important in the context of photometric mode identification of non-radial pulsating stars. The effect of convection treatment on these quantities is discussed and as expected differences in the b_ell_ coefficients and derivatives computed with CGM and MLT {alpha}=0.5 are much smaller than differences obtained between computations with CGM and MLT {alpha}=1.25. The limb darkening coefficients are given here for the u, v, b and y bands and for CGM models, MLT {alpha}=0.5 models and MLT {alpha}=1.25 models.</description><source format="bibcode">2003A&amp;A...405.1095B</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/405/1095</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/401/657">J/A+A/401/657 : Non-linear limb-darkening law for LTE models II (Claret, 2003)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/363/1081">J/A+A/363/1081 : Non-linear limb-darkening law for LTE models (Claret, 2000)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/335/647">J/A+A/335/647 : Limb-darkening coefficients for ubvyUBVRIJHK (Claret 1998)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+AS/110/329">J/A+AS/110/329 : LTE model atmospheres coeff.
