ADCADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/photom/E2003/

The ADC has expanded its resources in order to better serve our users, we have developed a new category called "external" to complement our catalogs and journal table directories. You can access the data set described here through the URL:

The following is an abbreviated "ReadMe" document that describes this external data set.

Description:   
    This database is an adjunct to the authors' General Catalogue of 
    Photometric Data (GCPD). It contains basic information on more than 80 
    different photometry systems.  The database page for a system includes
    the original source reference, an abstract, the GCPD content in that
    system, links to access the data and references in the GCPD for that 
    system, color indices and parameters, the filters, their central 
    wavelengths and bandwidths and transmission curves, the photomultiplier 
    used in the system, system calibrations, cross-references, and problems 
    and errrata.
