Abstract
With this paper we begin to present a photoelectric realization of the sofar
photographically defined RGU-system.
The data reduction technique is based on Rufener's method of variable principal
extinction coefficients, which is applied to the photoelectric RGU-system to
determine accurate extraterrestrial G-magnitudes and (G-R) and (U-G)-colors of
a first set of standard stars.
