The Neckel & Chini UBVRI system

Basic Reference

Neckel Th., Chini R. 1980, A&A.Suppl. 39, 411

Abstract

A list of 60 faint UBVRI standards is presented. Their UBV magnitudes are in the system introduced by Johnson (1955) and their V-I colors are in the system of the Arizona Tonantzintla catalogue by Iriarte et al. (1965). These stars are spread over an equatorial belt with |delta| < 30 deg., so that they can be observed as well from northern as from southern sites.
