[vsnet-chart 235] Stars near galaxies - 3



     Another paper with stars measured near galaxies is by Poulain & Neito,
which contains UBVRI results for about 200 southern early-type galaxies.  The
list below shows coordinates and BVRI data for about 80 stars they measured.
     In no case here are the stars isolated from the galaxies, but instead are
mostly quite difficult objects near their centers.  As a result, many of the
data are clearly erroneous.  This is easy to spot from the consistency of the
star colors.  Roughly speaking for stars of ordinary color the V-R color _must_
be about 0.6(B-V), and V-I _must_ be about 1.1(B-V).  As an example, the first
star in the list has B-V = 0.80, V-R = -0.06, and V-I = 0.96.  If we accept
that B-V is correct, then V-R is in error by half a magnitude(!), and V-I is
marginally acceptable within very generous uncertainties.  The B-V and V-I
colors are much more likely to be correct, since very blue stars as implied by
the V-R color are extremely rare outside the galactic plane.  Such discrepant
results almost certainly result from the problematic subtraction of the
galaxian background light, and demonstrate the difficulty of doing this with
a single-channel photometer on a 1m-class telescope, as was the case here.
     Some of the data are okay (mostly the brighter stars, naturally), but
each case must be considered carefully.  Again, observations with a modest
telescope and CCD could improve these results markedly.
     The addition of the BVRI colors forced me to expand the format past
80 columns, but otherwise the arrangement is similar to previous lists.
