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.

65- 69 F5.3 mag e_Imag *? Error in Imag
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
