Abstract:
UV (195 nm) and Stroemgren uvby photometry of a 110 square degree field at
high southern galactic latitudes are analyzed through a comparison of i)
UV magnitudes for 57 stars of various types common to the published TD1
catalogue and the Very Wide Field Camera (VWFC); and ii) observed and
theoretical two-colour diagrams. The higher sensitivity of the VWFC
(=~0.5magnitude) and its more complete survey are exemplified by the
detection and UV measurement of a series of objects with moderate UV-excess
in addition to detection of some very blue objects of various nature down
to fainter than 12th magnitude in the optical domain. A deeper survey with
a VWFC-type instrument could provide a complete sample for studies of the
group properties of faint blue stars. During the uvby reductions it was
found that the usual procedure of plotting residuals as functions of
declination, hour angle and airmass can be a powerful and diagnostic test
of photometer rigidity.

Note (1): Single-star internal errors are reported for those stars for which any
Stroemgren index exceeds 2.5 times the appropriate mean uncertainty
reported in Table II
Note (2): The error given to m_195_ magnitudes is twice the one derived by the
CAPELLA software, see Viton et al (1991)
Note (3): a uncertain error bar
b VWFC image elongated, both HD 204779 and 204763 may contribute
c CORAVEL data indicate possibly variable velocity
d CORAVEL data indicate variable velocity
e UV detection in fact due to WT026bis (Fig. 3, V=~12.5) which
preliminary spectroscopy and CCD photometry has shown is a sdO
star probably in binary association with a cooler companion
f SAO 227683 excluded
g SAO 227683 included
