Abstract:
Stroemgren and H{beta} photometry of O and B type stars, generally
brighter than 9.5 mag is reported for the field of the Carina Spiral
Feature. The observations are based on the PPM (Cat. <I/193>) catalogue
identifications and are designed to improve the completeness of the
existing uvby{beta} data for the bright early-type stars in the field.
We present new uvby photometry for 283 stars and H{beta} photometry
for 225 of them. These observations are part of an ongoing effort to
study the structure of selected star-forming regions in the Milky Way
by means of uvby{beta} photometry. A comparison of the new data to
other uvby{beta} data sets for this field is presented.
Description:
Table 1: Catalogue of Stroemgren photometry for 283 program stars in
the field of the Carina Spiral Feature. The PPM identifications are
given in the first column. Columns 2, 4, 6, and 8 give V, b-y, m1, and
c1, respectively. Columns 3, 5, 7, and 9 give the internal rms errors
of one observation (weight 1). In columns 10 and 11 the weight of V
and the indices are listed, respectively. Column 12 gives the number
of nights for each star. Columns 13 and 14 show the
cross-identification with the HD and LS numbers.
Table 2: H{beta} photometry for 225 program stars in the field of the
Carina Spiral Feature. The PPM identifications are given in the first
column, and the photometry follows in column 2. Column 3 gives the
internal rms errors of one observation (weight 1). In columns 4 and 5
the weight of the H{beta} indices and the number of the nights for
each star are listed, respectively. Columns 6 and 7 show the
cross-identification with the HD and LS numbers.
