photometry, and the effects of rotation

Description:
In the fourth and final of a series of papers on the late B to the
early F type stars, the MK spectral classification system for
the late B type stars is refined. The effect of rotation on both
spectral classification and Stromgren photometry of these stars is
considered. The work of Morgan by is extended by the establishment of
self-consistent sequences of narrow and broadlined standards. A number of
Bp-star classifications are refined and compared with Stromgren photometry.
