Abstract:
    New UBV photometry for 878 luminous member stars of the Large
    Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and 13 stars of uncertain membership is
    presented. Including former observations now UBV data are available
    for altogether 2470 luminous LMC stars and 2106 foreground stars plus
    65 stars of uncertain membership. The observations have been used
    already for several investigations dealing e.g. with interstellar
    reddening lines and intrinsic colours, the dust distribution and the
    calibration of charge-coupled device exposures.
