ADC_Keywords: Stars, nearby ; Photometry, UBVRI ; Photometry, infrared Keywords: stars: distances - stars: fundamental parameters Abstract: We present homogeneous, standardized UBV(RI)C photometry for over 700 nearby stars selected on the basis of Hipparcos parallaxes. Additionally, we list JHK photometry for about half of these stars, as well as L photometry for 86 of the brightest. A number of stars with peculiar colours or anomalous locations in various colour-magnitude diagrams are discussed. Description: All UBVRI observations were made using the 0.5-m telescope and photomultiplier-based modular photometer at the Sutherland site of the SAAO between 2000 June and 2005 November.

Note (2): Hipparcos variability flags as follows: C = not detected as variable D = probably spurious variability, due to the presence of a close companion M = microvariable P = periodic variable R = possible spurious magnitude trend, due to a revised colour index; U = "unsolved" variable (possibly multiperiodic or irregular variable) Note (3): Hipparcos multiplicity flags as follows: C = solutions for multiple components G = higher order terms required in solution (probable long-period astrometric binary) O = partial binary orbital element solution V = double system with a variable component X = model uncertainty larger than expected from errors on individual measurements (probable short-period astrometric binary) Note (4): References as follows: 1 = Gray et al.
