Description:
    Table 1 contents 471 simultaneous measurements collected in each of
    the four uvby colours of the Stroemgren photometric system for the
    eclipsing binary system AB Cas. Because of an instrumental problem, 82
    points in the b channel (during the last observational night) had to
    be rejected (the corresponding magnitudes are listed as 0.0000). The
    data are magnitude differences (Du,Dv,Db,Dy) of the variable star
    minus comparison star in the instrumental system versus Heliocentric
    Julian Day. Table 2 is the same, but for H{beta} (80 points). The
    comparison star is BD+70 0188. The origin in time is the Julian Day
    2447117. The observations were carried out (by E. Rodriguez, A.
    Claret, J.L. Sedano, J.M. Garcia and R. Garrido) during 1987 and 1988
    using the 0.90m telescope at the Sierra Nevada Observatory, Spain.
