[vsnet-sequence 127] Sequence for V838 Mon




       Norwegian Astronomical Society - Variable Star Section

             ***** Sequence for V838 Monocerotis *****

0659-03   V838 Mon     R.A. = 07h04m04s.8, Decl.= -03o50'51" (2000.0)

This list contains photometry for bright comparison stars around
V838 Mon. Star names are from Yale Bright Star Catalogue (HR
numbers), Henry Draper Catalogue and its extension (HD). The
Flamsteed name is given for the brightest star. The sequence contains
V magnitudes and B-V colours with corresponding uncertainties. Only
apparently single stars with B-V < +0.7 have been selected.
References for photometry are the UBV Photometric System catalogue
(J.-C. Mermilliod and M. Mermilliod, 1998), Tycho-2 catalogue (E. Hog
et al., 2000), CCD photometry by A. Henden, USNO, obtained from
ftp://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/sequence/ . The method by
M. Bessell (PASP, 112, 961, 2000) was used in transforming Tycho-2
BT and VT photometry to V and B-V. Last column gives the angular
distances from V838 Mon. This sequence may be used for visual
observations as well as PEP/CCD photometry with proper filters.

Notes:
Star L: Henden has V = 9.14 (+/- 0.03) and B-V = +0.10 (+/-0.05).
Star P: Tycho-2 gives V = 10.21 (+/-0.07) and B-V = +0.29 (+/-0.08).
Star R: Tycho-2 gives V = 10.61 (+/-0.09) and B-V = +0.10 (+/-0.09).


A short list of red stars (B-V > +1.2) is also included for colour
calibration:
