Note: Transformations between EROS B and R magnitudes (Be and Re), and
 Johnson B and V magnitudes (Bj and Vj), and Cousins R magnitude (Rc).
 The transformations and the r.m.s. deviations of a single measure, sigma, are:
   Bj = Be + 0.46(Be - Re)           sigma = 0.08 mag
   Vj = Be - 0.47(Be - Re)           sigma = 0.07 mag
   Rc = Re + 0.07(Be - Re)           sigma = 0.04 mag
 (Bj - Vj) = 0.92(Be - Re)           sigma = 0.10 mag
 (Vj - Rc) = 0.49(Be - Re)           sigma = 0.02 mag
 (Bj - Rc) = 1.37(Be - Re)           sigma = 0.08 mag
