Abstract:
    BV(RI)_KC_ (see Bessel, 1990PASP..102.1181B) light curves are
    presented for 27 type Ia supernovae discovered during the course of
    the Calan/Tololo Survey and for two other SNe Ia observed during the
    same period. Estimates of the maximum light magnitudes in the B, V,
    and I bands and the initial decline rate parameter {DELTA}m_(15)(B)
    are also given.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on e_Bmag, e_Vmag, e_Rmag, e_Imag:
  The uncertainties quoted for each magnitude correspond to the sum
  in quadrature of the errors due to photon Poisson statistics and an
  _assumed_ additional error of 0.03mag in each individual
  observation. The latter uncertainty was included in order to
  account for errors involved in the transformation from the authors'
  instrumental system to the standard system, and also due to the
  subtraction of the underlying host galaxy.
