Description:
UBV CCD absolute photometry and differential astrometry of 111
southern visual binaries are presented. Observations have been
performed at Las Campanas Observatory (Chile) in 1991-92 at 61-cm
telescope. The separation range is 2.5-8arcsec. The mean epoch of the
measurements is 1992.0. The photometry (table 1) was calibrated by one
night of standard star observations. The positional parameters (table
3) are given in the reference system J2000 and calibrated using
Hipparcos and CDS data. An additional table 2 provides the notes on
observational circumstances.

Note (2): Corresponds to the particular durchmusterung depending on declination:
Zone = [+89,-22]: Bonn Durchmusterung
Zone = [-23,-51]: Cordoba Durchmusterung
Zone = [-52,-89]: Cape Durchmusterung
Note (3): For secondaries (Comp="B") this error is that of differency of
magnitude or colour, measured between the secondary and primary
components.
