J/A+AS/103/573   UBVRI Photometry of bright southern galaxies   (Poulain+ 1994)

UBVRI photoelectric photometry of bright southern early-type galaxies

Abstract:
    UBVRI multi-aperture photometry of 207 bright southern galaxies and of 72
    objects of an additional list is presented. These observations were made
    for obtaining the magnitude scale zero-point as an accurate determination
    of the sky background for a two-dimensional photometry program concerning
    these galaxies. We have also inferred the asymptotic magnitudes, color
    indices and effective apertures of these objects. Our results are in good
    agreement with those of others authors.
