ADC_Keywords: Photometry, uvby, beta ; Stars, double and multiple Description: Astrophysical parameters (MK class, colour excess, absolute magnitude, distance, effective temperature, mass and age) are derived from calibrations of the uvbybeta indices for the members of 253 double stars with O or B type primaries and faint secondaries. The photometric spectral classification is compared to the MK classes and the agreement is very good. The derived data together with spectroscopic and JHKL data indicate that these stars are likely to be members of physical systems. For 90% of the physical pairs the projected separations between the components is less than 25,000 AU. A majority of the physical secondaries are late type stars and 50% of them are contracting towards the zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS).

The HD number is repeated for each component. Note on Comp: An asterisk (*) following the component designation of composite primaries indicates that the magnitude difference is less than 4.0 Note on rel: PH = Physical secondary OPT = Optical secondary ? = Undecided Uncertain cases are indicated by a "?" following the most likely relation. Numbers refer to which of the criteria the classification is based upon. A secondary is classified as an optical component if any of the following criteria is fulfilled: 1 = The absolute magnitude Mv' places the star more than 0.5 mag below the ZAMS at (b-y)', (or at the (b-y)0 corresponding to the spectral type). Primaries noted to be spectroscopic binaries have been corrected for equally bright components. 2 = Mv' is inconsistent with the MK classification. 3 = (b-y)' (or c' for B stars) inconsistent with the MK classification. 4 = For stars earlier than G0 the difference between Mv' and Mv(beta) or Mv(c') is larger than 1.0 mag. 5 = The indices m', c' and beta are inconsistent with the MK class corresponding to (b-y)' and Mv'. 6 = The components have different radial velocities in Paper III. 7 = Astrometric data show that the system is optical. 8 = Some secondaries which did qualify as physical companions by the criteria above were still considered as optical if their position in the HR diagram would be in serious conflict with the evolutionary tracks and the assumption of coeval formation of the primary and secondary. Note on Sp2: d = dwarf g = giant Note on rem: C = According to Age the star is still contracting with respect to ZAMS.
