Abstract:
    An extensive photometric dataset has been compiled for six Luminous
    Blue Variables (LBVs). The dataset comprises published and unpublished
    measurements in the Stroemgren, Geneva and Walraven photometric
    systems. The measurements within each individual system are presented
    in a uniform manner. Combining observations from these three
    photometric systems, a VJ light curve has been constructed for each
    LBV. Examination of the light curves reveals variations on widely
    different magnitude and time scales.

    For explanation about the photometric sytems, see the definitions
    in the General Catalogue of Photometric Data: 
    about uvby (Stroemgren) <GCPD/04> ; Geneva <GCPD/13> ; 
    Walraven VBLUW <GCPD/11>
