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.
