Gaia Data Release 2. Summary of the contents and survey properties: We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities,... -
UBVRI standard stars in the E-regions
Photometry on the UBVRI Kron-Cousins system is presented for 102 stars covering the magnitude range 7 to 16 in the nine Harvard E-regions. These stars, at declination close to... -
MIPS 24um calibrators
We present the stellar calibrator sample and the conversion from instrumental to physical units for the 24{mu}m channel of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS).... -
BVI photometry in NGC 300
Based on 13 nights of observations of four fields in NGC 300, we have set up an extensive sequence of stars with accurate BVI photometry covering a relatively large (25'x25')... -

Standard errors for PPM and Tycho stars
The connection between the optical reference frame and the radio one constitutes one of the main purposes of the astrometry. The paper is pointing out the contribution of the... -
UBVRI phot. for galaxies, Gal. GCs & stars
From 1982 January to 1988 October, I used the 76-cm and 91-cm (30-inch and 36-inch) reflectors at McDonald Observatory in West Texas for UBV(RI)c observations of 239 galaxies,... -
Improved and new RVs for the GALAH+ survey
GALAH+ is a magnitude-limited survey of high-resolution stellar spectra obtained by the HERMES spectrograph at the Australian Astronomical Observatory. Its third data release... -
Spectrophotometric standard cand. photometry
We present Johnson-Kron-Cousins BVRI photometry of 228 candidate spectrophotometric standard stars for the external (absolute) flux calibration of Gaia data. The data were... -
UVIT and GALEX count rates
We have studied the performance of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope payload on AstroSat and derived a calibration of the far-ultraviolet (FUV) and near-ultraviolet (NUV)... -
2MASS J18212815+1414010 field stars
We used the OSIRIS camera at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) to monitor the astrometric motion of the L4.5 dwarf 2M1821+14 over 17 months. The astrometric residuals of... -
Gaia spectrophotometric standard stars I.
We describe two ground-based observing campaigns aimed at building a grid of approximately 200 spectrophotometric standard stars (SPSS), with an internal =~1% precision and tied... -
PTI calibrator catalog
The Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) archive of observations between 1998 and 2005 is examined for objects appropriate for calibration of optical long-baseline... -
H-band Spectral Standards
We present a catalogue of H-band spectra for 85 stars of approximately solar abundance observed at a resolving power of 3000 with the KPNO Mayall 4m Fourier Transform... -
UBVRcIc photometry in fields of Seyfert galaxies
We present UBVRcIc magnitudes of 49 comparison stars in the fields of the Seyfert galaxies Mrk 335, Mrk 79, Mrk 279, Mrk 506, 3C 382, 3C 390.3, NGC 6814, Mrk 304, Ark 564, and... -
Infrared absolute calibration. I. Calibration stars
A challenge in absolute calibration is to relate very bright stars with physical flux measurements to faint ones within range of modern instruments, e.g., those on large... -
Faint UBVRI standard stars at +50{deg} declination
Precise and accurate CCD-based UBVRI photometry is presented for ~2000 stars distributed around the sky in a declination zone centered approximately at +50{deg}. Their... -
