In a recent paper on V1184 Tau, Semkov provides a UBVRI sequence for the field. The text indicates these are based on five nights of observation against 1992 Landolt standards. Below I show accurate coordinates for the stars from the all-sky 2MASS catalogue, along with Semkov's data. He shows UBVRI magnitudes, but I give them here as V and colors. I have omitted his U-band data, since it was clear that the errors were large enough to make the U-B colors meaningless. For each datum I show the nominal rms errors (errors on colors taken in quadrature). The colors are reasonably consistent within their stated uncertainties. I at first thought the anomalous V-I color of star G resulted from a typo in the I magnitude (1 mag. too bright), but it is consistent with that shown in USNO-B1.0 (I=13.39 versus mi=13.5 in B1.0). Something odd may be going on with this one. The BVR colors for all the stars are indicative of little or no reddening. For V1184 Tau, I show approximate values for the magnitude and colors. \Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- source: 2003A&A...404..655S SEMKOV E.H.
