J/A+AS/99/591 UBV photometry of LMC foreground stars (Gochermann+ 1993) ================================================================================ UBV photometry of galactic foreground and LMC member stars. I. Galactic foreground stars Gochermann J., Grothues H.-G., Oestreicher M.O., Berghoefer T., Schmidt-Kaler T. =1993A&AS...99..591G (SIMBAD/NED BibCode) ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Photometry, UBV ; Magellanic Clouds Keywords: UBV photometry - galaxies: Magellanic Clouds - Galaxy (the): stellar content of Description: UBV photometry of 955 galactic foreground stars in the direction to the Large Magellanic Cloud is presented. The stars have been chosen from foreground star catalogues and have been measured to complete a new data base containing entries of more than 5000 stars in the direction of the LMC. First and second order extinction coefficients at La Silla/Chile are given, which differ from the standard values because of the 1991 eruption of the volcano Mt. Pinatubo.
