UBV Photoelectric Sequences in SA 92-115 (1973)

Keywords :

Abstract:The UBV system was originally defined by ten bright standard stars, primarily in the northern sky. These stars are too bright to be used with large telescopes and cannot be reached from southern observatories. This catalog is a careful compilation of data on fainter stars in the equatorial Selected Areas. They are intended as a new set of standards which can be used to define the UBV system at fainter magnitudes in both hemispheres. The stars range in V between 6.0 and 14.9 with most between 9.0 and 13.0. Introduction: A discussion of modern broad-band photometric systems has been given by ...(more)
