Abstract:
Long baseline stellar interferometry shares with other techniques the
need for calibrator stars in order to correct for instrumental and
atmospheric effects. We present a catalogue of 374 stars carefully
selected to be used for that purpose in the near infrared. Owing to
several convergent criteria with the work of Cohen et al.
(1999AJ....117.1864C 1999AJ....117.1864C), this catalogue is in essence a subset of their
self-consistent all-sky network of spectro-photometric calibrator
stars. For every star, we provide the angular limb-darkened diameter,
uniform disc angular diameters in the J, H and K bands, the Johnson
photometry and other useful parameters. Most stars are type III giants
with spectral types K or M0, magnitudes V=3-7 and K=0-3. Their angular
limb-darkened diameters range from 1 to 3 mas with a median
uncertainty as low as 1.2%. The median distance from a given point on
the sky to the closest reference is 5.2°, whereas this distance
never exceeds 16.4° for any celestial location.

Note (1): Magnitude flag:
1: the corresponding magnitude is a measurement.
0: the corresponding magnitude is an estimate based.
on the colors deduced from the spectral type.
Note (2): Standard Simbad name. In the case of double or multiple stars,
separations and differences in visible magnitude between the primary
and its companions are given. For instance, sep(AB) denotes the
separation in arcsec between the primary A and its companion B, and
VB-VA denotes the difference in visible magnitude between A and B.
