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
