Catalogue of UBV Photometry and MK Spectral Types in Open Clusters
(3rd Edition, August 1986)

ADC_Keywords: Clusters, open ; MK spectral classification ; Photometry, UBV
Description:
The catalog is a compilation of UBV photoelectric photometry and MK
spectral types published up to 1986 for 16433 stars in 295 open clusters.
It updates the 1976 edition and contains nearly twice as many data as the
earlier version. The catalog lists identifications, cross-identifications,
V, B-V, U-B, spectral types, remarks on various peculiarities, and
references.

Note (1): see Mermilliod, Bull. Inf. CDS 14, 32 (1978) for a description
of the numbering system; detailed references are in file "lid.txt".
Note (2): this peculiarity is a single-character code as follows:
B = Spectroscopic Binary P = Peculiar star
D = Visual binary V = Variable star
E = Emission-line star
Note (3): The Durchmusterung number has the form 'nn+ZZNNNNN' where
nn = 'BD', 'CD', 'CP'
+ZZ = zone in degrees
NNNNN = number in the zone
