Description:
Measurements of the {lambda} 4200 A CN band are presented for 712 late-type
stars. G band data are also included for 212 of these stars. Mean errors
of absolute magnitudes derived from CN intensities are at least 1.5 mag.
Spectral type determined by G band intensity has a mean deviation of 0.15
class from the MK type for G to K1 stars. The file photom.dat contains 712
data records in the form of CN ratios and G-band ratios, with annotations.
The CN ratio is the ratio of the sum of the intensities in the 4097-4149 A
and 4230-4283 A wavelength ranges to the intensity in the 4164-4214 A
range. The latter contains the CN absorption band, and the first two ranges
serve as nearby continuum references. The ratio is a measure of the depth
of the absorption in the CN band. Values greater than 2 indicate absorption
in the band.
The G-band ratio is similarly the ratio of the sum of the intensities in the
4230-4270 A and 4342-4380 A wavelength ranges to the intensity in the
4285-4315 A range.

Note (1):
In three instances, the star observed has no HD number and this
column is left blank. The star is identified in the fourth column.
Note (2):
The following table provides the meaning of the characters in these
columns.
A Dynamical space velocity greater than 80 km/s
B "4150"
C "Weak-CN"
D "Strong-line"
E "Weak-line"
F B.D +42.939 deg
G Composite spectrum, early-type companion
H Double, companion star only partly excluded by slit
I Star name: 49 Ser B
J Star name: 70 Oph B
In the cases of all double stars not indicated with 'H', where the
angular separation is less than 2 arcsec, the two stars have been
measured together, and where the separation is more than 2 arcsec,
the brighter component alone has been observed.
