J/A+AS/119/483      UBV photometry of double stars. (Sinachopoulos+ 1996)

Description:
    We present UBV photometric observations of 55 wide visual double stars
    with K- and M- type primaries. Our observations have been compared and
    combined with information available in the literature. At least 58% of
    them are optical pairs.

Note (1): PHY: physical pair
          PHY(?): probably a physical pair
          PHY?: either has CO components only, or they are in addition
                 gravitationally bound
          CO?: two components of the system have common origin (born together,
                but not orbital motion)
          CO(?): either OPT or it has CO components
          OPT: optical pair
