II/8 Catalogue of UVBGRI measurements (Nicollier 1975)
================================================================================
Catalogue of UVBGRI (Stebbins and Withford) measurements:
Published data and Weighted Means

ADC_Keywords: Photometry, UVBGRI
Description:
This compilation contains the published results and the weighted
means of the observations in the photoelectric photometric system
described by Stebbins and Withford (1943).
The six filters were selected to give nearly the same response
in each of the six spectral regions for a solar-type star.
The mean wavelengths or the filters are:
----------------------------------------------------
Filter U B V G R I
Wavelength (nm) 353 422 488 570 719 1030
----------------------------------------------------
The reduction of this system is made in order that
(B+G+R) = 0.

Note (1): Keys to the code are described in file "codes.dat";
'D' in column m_LID indicates a double star with both components
measured simultaneously;
'1' and '2' in column m_LID indicates components of a composite
system.
Note (2): See Description above; the colours are such that (B+G+R) = 0.
Note (3): Values only for "obs.dat" file.
'/' in column n_Nmes indicates an unknown Nmes value,
'*' in column n_Nmes indicates that Nmes represents a minimal value.
