II/128       Photometric Data for the Bright Stars    (Hauck+, 1986)

Photometric Data for the Bright Stars Hauck B. and Mermilliod M. <Bull. Inform. CDS, No. 31 (1986)>
ADC_Keywords: Photometry; Stars, bright Description: References are given to the photometric data available for 9008 stars in the Bright Star Catalog. Introduction: A new (1986) version of the General Catalogue of Photometric data (Hauck et al., 1986) was used to establish a file that indicates the systems in which a star belonging to the Bright Star Catalogue (Hoffleit and Jaschek, 1982) has been measured. Fourteen novae or extended sources were excluded. Two binary systems have separate entries in the BSC but cannot be resolved photometrically. There is no photometric data for 86 stars.
