J/AJ/109/1055                 Globulars of M81 (Perelmuter+ 1995)
================================================================================
The Globular Cluster System of M81
     Perelmuter J.M., Racine M.
    <Astron. J. 109, 1055 (1995)>
    =1995AJ....109.1055P
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular; Photometry 

Description:
    Photometric BVR, morphological, and astrometric information has been 
    obtained on 3774 objects located within a 25' radius of M81. This
    catalogue is complete for 15 <= V <= 21.  Small but
    significant systematic errors in Madore et al.'s [AJ, 106, 2243
    (1993)] photometry could be responsible for an overestimate of the
    Cepheid distance to M81 [(m-M)0 = 27.8].
