The Jacobsen RI photometric system

Basic Reference

Jacobsen P.-U.

Abstract

The infra-red colour index R-I is given for 330 stars, the majority of which are G and K type giants brighter than 7th apparent visual magnitude. An ITT FW 118 photomultiplier with an end-on S1 cathode cooled with dry-ice was employed. The results have been transformed to R-I in Johnson's system.
