UBVRI photometric standard stars around the sky at -50° declination. Landolt A.U. <Astron. J., 133, 2502-2523 (2007)> =2007AJ....133.2502L 2007AJ....133.2502L
ADC_Keywords: Stars, standard ; Photometry, UBVRI ; Fundamental catalog Keywords: catalogs - standards - stars: fundamental parameters techniques: photometric Abstract: UBVRI photoelectric observations have been made of 109 stars around the sky, centered more or less at -50° declination. The majority of the stars fall in the magnitude range 10.4<V<15.5 and in the color index range -0.33<(B-V)<+1.66. These new broadband photometric standard stars average 16.4 measurements each from data taken on 116 different nights over a period of 4yr. Similar data are tabulated for 19 stars of interest that were not observed often enough to make them well-defined standard stars. Description: The Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 1.5m telescope with a GaAs photomultiplier was assigned on 168 nights for this program over the time interval 1998-2001. Useful data were obtained on 116 whole or partial different nights, wherein 55% of the possible observing hours were photometric.
