Abstract:
    The results of 114 photoelectric observations are analysed. They were
    obtained at the two Stations of O.C.A.: Calern and Nice Observatories.
    We first give a short description of the two photometers used and then
    we present the interactive reduction method. The astrometric and
    photometric parameters are derived from each light-curve. Finally we
    summarize the results and discuss about the non point-like occulted
    stars: we present 38 double star measurements, for 16 objects, and 11
    determinations of angular diameters, for 4 objects.
