Abstract:
    The B0V star BD+46 3474 lies near the front surface of a dense
    molecular cloud and illuminates the emission/reflection nebula IC
    5146. The HAeBe variable BD +46 3471 is embedded in the same cloud,
    about 10' (3.5pc) away. CCD photometry in BV(RI)_C_ (to V=22) and in
    JHK (to about K=16.5) has been obtained for the young clusters
    surrounding each of these two bright stars. Some 100 emission-H{alpha}
    stars brighter than R=20.5 have been found in the area, most of them
    in IC 5146. (Among these are two that have spectra resembling a
    high-excitation Herbig-Haro [HH] object plus a stellar continuum).

Note (1): Note:
    a = Detected proper motion, most likely foreground star.
    b = Variability suspected.
    f = 218: Possible HH object, see ``d'' in Note (4); probably LkH{alpha}-246.
Note (2): Based on reference stars from the HST Guide Star and USNO-A catalogs.
Note (3): A "<" and a value of 5 in W(Ha) indicates no emission was present 
    on a detectable continuum.
Note (4): If the continuum was lost in the noise, if there was some
    interference by nearby spectra, or if the star fell outside the grism
    field, the column is left blank. Other flags are:
    em = cases where only the emission line was detectable above the sky
         noise, or where emission was detected but the continuum level was
         confused by an overlapping spectrum.
   abs = line seen in absorption.
     : = uncertain measurement.
     c = 169: W variable between about 60 and 110{AA}.
     d = 182: Possible HH object; H{alpha} in emission as well as a line
         near the position of [SII] 6716,6730{AA}; no continuum.
     e = 197: W possibly variable between about 5 and 35{AA}.
     g = 330: W possibly variable between about 25 and 60{AA}.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): Notes:
    a: The star at the position marked for variable 2 on Walker's Fig. 2
       has no detectable H{alpha} emission and lies below the main
       sequence, so it is not included in Table 2. However,
       525=IH{alpha} 176 is about 5" away, so we have assumed that it is
       Walker's variable.
    b: Lies below the main sequence, so is possibly a background star and
       not in Table 1 (or 2) for that reason.
    c: Outside the present photometric area.
Note (2): Single magnitudes from Table 1 or 2 are given for stars having
    observations at only one epoch.

Global notes:
Note (G1): Other names:
            WNN  = IC 5146 NN   (Walker, 1959ApJ...130...57W)
            LNNN = EM* LkHA NNN (Herbig, 1960ApJ...131..516H)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History:
    From electronic version of the journal
  * 10-May-2002: two errors were corrected in table3:
    Star 367 = W66 = IC 5146 66 (and not star 3)
    Star 504 = L236 = LkHA 236  (and not star 514)
