Description:
    This file contains magnitudes from nearly 50,000 40 second
    observations of the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 1217 obtained
    during nearly 600 hours of observation at various observatories from
    1980 to 1986. Most of the observations were made through Johnson B
    filters, but some were made through other filters. All data in this
    file were included in a paper entitled The high-overtone p-mode
    spectrum of the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 1217 (HD 24712) by
    Kurtz et al. (1989MNRAS.240..881K) and described in the CDS Inf. Bull.
    (Kurtz 1989). Much of the information published in Kurtz et al. (1989)
    had been gathered from previously published literature, and some had
    been obtained by a team established for that paper. Each record holds
    one observation with the Heliocentric Julian Date given to 5 decimal
    accuracy and the magnitude given to 4 decimal accuracy. The
    observations are grouped so that all observations from a single night
    from each observatory are listed together.

    The data published in Kurtz et al. (1989) included observations
    previously published as follows:

Note on filter:
   There are amplitude variations from filter to filter and possibly phase
   shifts, too. Data from different filters should not be mixed unknowingly.

   JB = Johnson B (most observations were taken with this filter)
   JV = Johnson V
   SU = Stromgren u
   SV = Stromgren v, etc.

Note on obs:
   CTIO  = Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory
   ESO   = European Southern Observatory
   LO    = Lowell Observatory
   MDO   = McDonald Observatory
   MKO   = Mauna Kea Observatory
   MSSSO = mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatory
   MJO   = Mount John Observatory
   SAAO  = South African Astronomical Observatory
   WO    = The Florence and George Wise Observatory
