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.
